Wirral’s biggest town will look totally different within the next two decades, after huge plans for homes, green spaces and a new market were passed tonight.
At a meeting this evening, Wirral Council's Economy, Regeneration and Development Committee approved a document outlining plans to build 21,000 homes and create 6,000 jobs, in what is being billed as the biggest change for Birkenhead since 1947.
The plan features the massive Wirral Waters development, set to see up to 13,000 homes built in the next 25 years, a development of around 1,000 homes on Hind Street and bold new green projects such as Dock Branch Park.
