Merv Adair - Vice President

I have lived in the Birkenhead area all my married life and am a long-term member of the Birkenhead Licensing Trust having served in ecess of thirty-three years. Working this tem with a group of particularly hard working and dedicated members, we now have a new outlet, Inn Field in Glenfield to add to our already established Slipp Inn in Highbury. Representing the Birkenhead Licensing Trust over these years has been a large part of my life and has given me enormous satisfaction in the help that has, and can in the future be provided to the community.

Stuart Weir

I am a 38 year old father of two, partner in a law firm and a long term resident of the Birkdale/Birkenhead area.

I attended Verrans Rd Primary, Birkdale Intermediate and Birkenhead College and have played soccer, cricket and softball at the local Birkenhead clubs. My children have also attended local schools, played sports for local clubs and been involved in local community groups.

Within our community I have served as Club Captain at the Birkenhead United soccer club and as Chairman of the Trust that owns the Rawene Community Centre in Highbury. Through my involvement at management level of these community groups I have seen first hand the huge benefits that grant funding can bring to volunteer driven community organisations.

I am passionate about our local area and believe the Trust has a key role in supporting community initiatives that benefit a significant number of residents in our area.
