A FABULOUS DAY
‘A FABULOUS DAY’
….not our words but those of a resident who, together with his family, attended the inaugural Halewood Town Council Fun Day was held on 5th August.
During a day of bright sunshine, an estimated 3,500 to 4,000 people came along to Hilton Grace Recreation Ground to enjoy a variety of entertainment and (mostly) free activities and to ‘have a go’ on the fair.
Opened by Cllr Tina Harris, Chairperson of the Town Council and Mayor of Halewood, accompanied by her Consort, Cllr Edna Finneran the day was a resounding success.
Here’s just some of the pictures taken on the day….

During September 2017, the independent Knowsley Parks and Green Spaces Review Board is seeking views on a series of recommendations regarding the future and management, funding and governance of the Borough’s green spaces.
