Work has begun on a new development in Wirral which will see a disused Birkenhead railway line cleared and converted into a 'linear' park by the end of 2025.
Wirral council are now clearing the old Dock Branch railway tracks of debris and overgrown vegetation to assess the space and develop their designs for the new space. The 'green corridor' will connect Tower Road, adjacent to the ferry terminal, and Argyle Street in Birkenhead town centre.
The work to clear the tracks is expected to take two weeks, though its total regeneration is expected to end in early 2025. The council's invitation to the public to consult on the park's design ended last October though they say there will be more opportunities for those concerned to have their say before construction begins next year.
