THE campaign group Save Rimrose Valley, which is fighting against National Highways' controversial Port of Liverpool Access Road, is all set to stage:- "Liverpool's Most Wuthering Heights Day… Ever" on:- Sunday, 28 July 2024, at Rimrose Valley Country Park.

The event, which celebrates the famous singer's birthday, will see hundreds of people from across Liverpool gather on the park to recreate the iconic contemporary dance routine which accompanies:- "Wuthering Heights" the song which launched her stellar career, in 1978.

Similar public performances are held across the globe each year, but this is believed to be the 1st time Liverpool has hosted the event.

Stuart Bennett of Save Rimrose Valley said:- "Every year, we try to do something a little different to bring people together, to raise awareness of our wonderful park, and to highlight our campaign to save it from destruction. This year, we've gone for something VERY different and have been blown away by the response. Over 800 people have signed up to take part. Registration is now closed to enable us to finalise plans for the big day. We're really grateful to dancers from Proctor Dance Academy, Shine Theatre School, and members of the public who will be helping lead the routine on the day. Events like this are not only fun; they're incredibly important to local communities as they bring people together, break down barriers, and get people active in the great outdoors. None of this would be possible if National Highways' plans to bulldoze the park were to go ahead. We're looking to Steve Rotheram, our MPs, and our Council to get us out of this mess. Each opposes the port access road and, with a new Labour government, it's down to them to get these plans scrapped and better options on the table."
