Wallasey town hall WIRRAL Council s controversial cuts plans were slated by all parties, as councillors feared they could do serious damage to the borough. The authority’s budget consultation, which ended at midnight on Friday, includes the options of closing the Williamson Art Gallery, Europa Pools and three of the borough s four public golf courses. Slashing support for the Hive Youth Zone in Birkenhead from £400,000 to £200,000 per year is also on the consultation paper. The cuts have been proposed as Wirral Council needs to address its budget deficit of £16.5m in the next financial year. Of all the savings options, the possible closure of Oxton’s Williamson Art Gallery has drawn the most responses from the public and drew irate reactions from councillors across the board last night.
