Despite certain comments the correct e-mail address to put views on this subject is/was as per my original post (as the promt reply to Shawn's e-mail proves), however it also appears the original consultation period has now ended (I need to confirm)



An important point to note is one of the aims of the 8-point Hoylake/West Kirby Master plan.....



6. Improvements to the West Kirby Marine Lake frontage. Whilst the Lake is a major attraction to water-sports enthusiasts all over the region there is a lack of supportive and quality further amenity in the immediate vicinity. In particular the frontage lacks a key focal point, which can provide a wider range of facilities.



These people are not idiots they know that a huge wad of their income from the lake comes from sail powered sports.



Another point, as Yoda correctly points out, these things can go down the plug hole if we are not constructive in our approach. A re-developement of the facilities at the marine lake would be fantastic, as a group of local sailors we need to be unbeat and co-operative and give our feedback in just such a constructive manner.



However pressure brought to bear on the relevent local ward councillors and Planning committee members is also a good alternative, but again should be done in a postive manner. Having had experience of these guys they generally don't know about these things until the meeting where they're voting on it - so gentle, constructive profile raising of the issue/opportunity should be the name of the game.



We should act as a postive group of people the council want to work with (as Darkside/Tattyhead has done with the sailing restrictions) not a bunch of negative minded people who come across as a pain in the arse everytime a new proposal is made.....
