New images show what a controversial sea wall looks like as it nears completion.
The West Kirby Flood Alleviation Scheme is a 1.1km barrier along South Parade which runs next to the town’s marine lake. The intention of the scheme is to save lives and protect the area from flooding well into the next century.
It has been controversial since it was first proposed with residents by Wirral Council and ward members have opposed the plans and the projected cost of the scheme now being more than £10m. Construction is expected to finish by this Spring.
