A new flood wall currently being built could "double" emergency response times of the local RNLI, it has been claimed.
Concerns have been raised over a new multi-million pound flood defence wall currently being installed in West Kirby. One local councillor said access to the water from the shores of West Kirby would become much more difficult when the defence is in full operation in times of storm or high water - when RNLI crews could be needed most.
The West Kirby RNLI is due to relocate its services to a temporary location until the Autumn due to the construction works going on. The RNLI said they were working with the council to discuss the operation of their crews after the autumn.
