Dunmininu Adesanya

Hello, I am Dunmininu Adesanya and I am a writer for Ellesmere Port News. Writing had been a great inspiration of mine since I was tiny and I always loved writing and even drawing my own stories.

In present day, I attend my school's writing club and have had my work published into a book for millions of others to see and hopefully feel the same joy for writing I did as a child. I hope that in my writing I will bring a little bit of positivity into the hearts of many.

Statement from Jake Cliff, CEO:

Dunmininu is a true role-model of what a writer at Ellesmere Port News should be like. With her contributions around the community, it is clear she aspires to be the best person she can be. From being in a writing club for 3 years now, to getting her poem into a book - "The Power Of Poetry", which is about racism, it shows how writing is a great passion of hers. The main reason for her joining is that she would like to be apart of a 'Community that actually cares for Ellesmere Port and the people who live here".

The Demolition of the Old Council Buildings

A rising question that residents of Ellesmere Port and even I myself have been asking is, "What is going on with the council buildings?"In a recent interview, we spoke to site manager Jake Whitehurst, who told us the demolition process has started but is yet to finish for a couple of weeks. They have mentioned that the method they are using to demolish the buildings will be via high-rise excavator. Ahead of time, a "dust buster" will be used which will fire water, removing any dust, reducing the risk of dust explosions (sawdust, lint, dust catching on fire).Unfortunately, this will cause some temporary disruptions to road and bus routes. Although the extent of the disruption will be determined by the specific demolition plan, it's wise to watch out for any potential change in bus routes/stops, road closures and increased traffic congestion. However, once completed, the empty space will be turned into council housing and living spaces for all the residents of Ellesmere Port.Here are some answers to frequently asked questions below:
