Before the by election, birkenhead.news spoke to Daisy Kenny, “I’ve always wanted to work hard and be in a position where I can give back to the community. Just helping out with day-to-day things to help improve people’s lives.”, she explained.
Daisy can now get on with her promise to electors to help source grants and funding for the regeneration of Liscard town centre.
Recalling her time as a youngster, just a few short years ago, she said that at the time there wasn’t much for kids to do to keep themselves occupied in and around Liscard. “I think Liscard needs more community centres, more leisure activities, particularly in Egremont.”
A ‘casual vacancy’ had arisen in the Liscard ward following the resignation of Labour’s Sarah Spoor for personal reasons, leading to the by election on 22 July. The results of the 2019 election are below.
