As Merseysiders in general may know, and Wirralites will certainly know, the Pacific Road Arts centre in Birkenhead is now closed with the council putting the building up for sale. This has been (and still is in many opinions) a great venue, which has hosted a variety of acts large and small. It’s certainly been one of the major venues used during the hosting of the International Guitar festival and is the only venue of its type in the Birkenhead area. It’s unlikely that a buyer will be found that will want to keep it as a performing arts site.

There is more information on this facebook page. If you want to show your support for the venue, and let the council know that you feel it should be retained as a great performance venue, then sign the ePetition here. You do have to register to prove you’re a real person, but the process takes 2 minutes max.
