Merseyside Community Risk Register

The Community Risk Register has been compiled jointly by the council and other emergency response agencies in Merseyside. It identifies any potential risks that may affect the communities of Merseyside and is subject to regular review.

We will continue to assess our internal documents to determine when it is appropriate to make something routinely available as a publication. Any such document that is not currently published can be requested under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 by contacting informationmanager@wirral.gov.uk.
