Cllr Tony Jones, chair of Wirral Council's economy, regeneration and housing committee, said: "Liscard Summer Festival is a great initiative, encouraging local people to support one of our busiest shopping streets.

"There will be lots going on throughout the day so if you live local, I’d encourage you to come along and show your support".

Liscard Summer Festival has been organised by the Liscard Together Partnership, a group made up of local businesses, community groups and the council, working together to help transform Liscard.

David Millar, Chair of the Partnership, said: "We’re very proud to have played our part in bringing the Summer Festival to Liscard.

"It's part of a wide and diverse range of events, improvements and changes we hope you’ll appreciate over the coming months and years.

"Our aim is to help bring together the whole community to give you a greatly improved Liscard you’ll love shopping in."
