Mersey Gateway project looking for local volunteers
Local residents from Halton and the surrounding area are being invited to become volunteers and be part of the ‘once in a lifetime’ Mersey Gateway Bridge project.
Merseylink is holding a volunteer information day on Tuesday 2 September 2014 at 5.45pm in the Kingsway Learning Centre in Widnes to give potential volunteers an idea of the role they could play.
So far around 40 local people have enrolled as volunteers with Merseylink. The construction consortium is seeking hundreds more to join the project team and help to tell the story of Halton and the £600m bridge – one of the largest building projects in the UK – over the next three and a half years.
