Wirral’s Director of Public Health, Julie Webster, has issued a health update for the borough. The update is published in full below.
“Stay active this summer by working on your fitness and create a balanced lifestyle for you and your family. Take advantage of the warm weather and longer days and enjoy outdoors activities in Wirral.
“A daily brisk walk can give your body a boost, lift your mood and make everyday activities easier. No matter how much you do, physical activity is good for your body and mind.
“There are lots of free activities to do here in Wirral, as well as some brilliant facilities that families can use to stay active, right across the borough”.
