>A senior Wirral councillor has been cleared after receiving complaints over comments she made earlier this year Labour councillor Liz Grey, who chairs the council’s environment, climate emergency, and transport committee, came under fire from Wirral Council's Conservatives over what she said during a debate about how the local authority could better engage with the public at a committee meeting on February 19.

>At the meeting, Cllr Grey said the council needed to improve accessibility when it came to engagement, adding: “I was also really mindful of the demographics. My concern is with the demographic reach of our consultations. I know work is being done to improve our consultations and I’m really pleased with that.

>“I just feel it’s really important we don’t just listen to the views of, for example, old white men.”
