Parts of £15m sea wall won't open by Easter after more delays

Parts of West Kirby’s seafront will not reopen by Easter after further delays to a controversial sea wall.

Wirral Council said this is because construction work for the controversial £15m project in the town had to be paused due to high tides at the end of March.
