A report by the Interim Director of Children’s Services gave an update on the  exploratory work undertaken with Merseyside Fire Authority, stakeholder youth organisations, the charity Onside, colleagues from Merseyside Police and officers from Wirral Children and Young People’s Department (CYPD). The report outlined progress to date.  The Cabinet was asked to approve the request to progress to the feasibility stage of this project and receive a further report when this has been completed.

RESOLVED:  That

(1)  the Cabinet agrees to further work being undertaken in order to investigate the feasibility of this facility; and

(2)  to avoid duplication in the development of youth provision on Wirral, membership of the Steering Group should reflect the range of partners involved in developing the Youth Offer on Wirral.
