Wireworm numbers will drop over time. They're sub-turf creatures by nature, and only prey on our root crops while trying to survive the loss of their natural habitat.

Welcome to the site Gaz.
There is something you can sow that speeds up their departure... cant think of it just now, it's in one of the garden organic leaflets, it's like a green manure, they feed on it, get to the flying stage and clear off...

Time will solve that one. Their main food is grass roots, so ruthlessly eliminate the grass, and don't let it come back. Whereabouts in Birmingham are you?
