Help Us Deliver Events in Halewood
One of the aims of Halewood Town council is to help promote a vibrant and active local community. The Council recognises and supports the valuable contribution made by many voluntary groups and organisations (often very small) to the well-being of our local community.
For 2020, Halewood Town Council aspires to the delivery of three significant community events. In previous years, community events would be organised wholly through the staff team of the Town Council. For 2020, our aim is to work directly in partnership with one or more community organisations to assist with event facilitation. We need your expertise, community knowledge, your volunteers and your enthusiasm!
Our three main Community Events for 2020 are as follows:
- A community event to celebrate VE Day on the weekend of May 8th-10th 2020;
- A community event to promote the work of the Town Council and other local partners in the summer of 2020;
- An event to help promote the switch-on of the Halewood Christmas Lights for 2020 and support other Christmas activities at the Town Council.
Funding is available for the co-production of the events and more information (including key dates and how to apply) can be found here COMMUNITY EVENTS FOR 2020

Town Council Meeting 16/1/2020
Funeral Details – Cllr Allan Harvey
The family of Councillor Allan Harvey have announced details of his funeral:
Date: Friday 17th January 2020
Service : St Nicholas, Halewood Parish Church, Church Road, Halewood Liverpool L26 6LA – 1.00pm
Springwood Crematorium Springwood Avenue Liverpool L25 7UN (Rosemary Chapel) – 2.00pm
The family have also advised that Allan’s wish was for people to make a donation to charity rather than send flowers. The Lilac Centre meant a great to Allan and the Harvey family. It is a dedicated Charity which supports the Chemotherapy Unit at Whiston and St Helens Hospital, providing free complementary therapies for those who need it most, including holistic therapies that support patients and carers. Information about how to donate can be found in the link below:

Promoting Halewood on Radio Merseyside
Listen back to the radio interview conducted on Monday December 16th promoting the work of the Town Council, community groups and local businesses in Halewood.
Disabled Parking at The Arncliffe Centre
We are kindly requesting visitors to The Arncliffe Centre to abide by the regulations when parking vehicles. When the centre is particularly busy a number of vehicles – without blue badges – have parked in the spots designated for disabled persons. This is a particular issue on Thursday evenings when we have Town Council meetings with large numbers of attendees.
We respectfully ask that these parking places are kept free for our visitors with restricted mobility.
