The Healthy Homes Team are working in Your Area!
Wirral Healthy Homes is a new initiative run by Wirral Borough Council in partnership with NHS Wirral, Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service, Merseyside Police and a number of Community and Voluntary Sector agencies. It aims to reduce all hazards in the home that could affect your health, safety and well being.
The Victoria parade area in New Brighton has been the focal point of this ground breaking new initiative that brings together Wirral Borough Council, NHS Wirral, Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service and a variety of other agencies in a new holistic approach to improving home safety, health & wellbeing.
Due to its success, the service has now been rolled out to the rest of New Brighton.
