Last night a tenant at Shaws Alley in the Baltic Triangle came home to an unannounced visitor. found at 11pm last night. 🐍

A 6ft Milk Snake had popped into the apartment to say hello, and so far its owners haven’t been found. 

Ian Taylor of Taylor Almond Property says: “Usually we find phone chargers, laptops and clothes left in our properties, never in 25 years have I had a snake issue”

The reptile is being cared for by Merseyside Reptile Rescue services until its owner is located. If you know who the owner could be please contact @tayloralmondproperty.

Claire House urgently needs to build a children’s hospice in Liverpool to provide specialist nursing, end‑of‑life care, comfort and emotional support for seriously and terminally ill babies, children, young adults and their families. 🩵

Their current base in West Derby could solve this problem and there are plans to create a fully functional children’s hospice within the site. 

But Claire House needs your help to do it.

Jay has been to the West Derby site to meet staff and families and to find out why this campaign is so important. 🫶
