Wirral West MP Matthew Patrick visited Heswall Dales on 4th April, meeting members of the Heswall Dales Friends and Dales Ranger Chris Werney. During a ramble covering heathland and wooded valleys (and the Turtles Head) a wide variety of environmental topics was discussed including heathland management, protection and recovery, encouraging biodiversity and reducing dog fouling. We look forward to seeing Matthew on the Dales again.
