Update on Roadworks

Halewood Town Council has received several queries from concerned residents regarding the roadworks across the township. The council has made contact with the Highways Division of Knowsley MBC to draw their attention to the plethora of complaints being received and is hopeful a response will be received.

We do understand the inconvenience this situation is causing with works on some of the key road arteries of our township, and we will lobby on your behalf with the Highways Team for a speedier resolution of the current works.

Halewood Town Council is pleased to announce the return of it’s much-loved Annual Christmas Concert to Halewood. The concert returns for the first time since 2019, following Covid-enforced postponements in 2020 and 2021.

In addition to school and community choirs, there will be performances from LUMA Creations to add an international dimension to the traditional Classic Carols.

Speaking for Halewood Town Council, Mayor Barbara Dunn commented, “On behalf of the Town Council and residents, I am delighted our Annual Christmas Concert is returning to Halewood. We are pleased to be working closely with our friends at Knowsley MBC, and we are particularly pleased this event will carry the badge of the Knowsley Borough Of Culture. I will be attending with other Councillors, and I know this will be a wonderful evening’s entertainment. Please join us if you can.”

The concert takes place at Halewood Academy School on Wednesday 14th December starting at 7.00pm.

Craft Fair at Hollies Hall

Still time to get to our Craft Fair at Hollies Hall


Hollies Play Area (Early Closure)

Halewood Town Council must sadly enforce the early daily closure of the Hollies Playground. Our keyholder will be seeking to close the Play Area by 4.00pm until further notice.

The reason for the early closure is the persistent intimidation of our keyholder by a gang of young persons using fireworks in dangerous and inappropriate ways. The Police have been informed of these ongoing issues, and messages have been posted previously on social media, but the intimidation has continued.

It is our hope the incidents stop, and the Play Area can remain open at least until the sun sets in the next few weeks, but the safety of our staff must be paramount.
