Congratulations to Wallasey Sea Cadets and HMS Astute for being offered the ‘Freedom of the Borough’. The award was accepted by Wirral Borough Council for the close links between the borough, the submarine and the Sea Cadet unit.

It means the crews and cadets would be granted the "right, privilege, honour and distinction" of marching through the streets of Wirral on all ceremonial occasions with drums beating, bands playing and colours flying.

Wallasey Sea Cadet Unit is the oldest on Merseyside and became affiliated to HMS Astute, which was the newest vessel at the time.
