A plan that will be used to guide the development of Wirral until 2037 has reached a key milestone and is now open to feedback from people and businesses based in the borough.
A draft of the New Local Plan has been published today by Wirral council to allow it to be scrutinised by those with interests in the borough. The plan is a guideline that will determine the size and shape of growth in the Wirral until 2037, as the council looks to introduce over 13,000 new homes in that time- with at least 5,000 before 2026.
At the heart of the plan is the regeneration of the 'Leftbank' of the River Mersey. Places such as New Ferry, Birkenhead and Seacombe will be focused on specifically as part of this to address social and economic depravation.
