Debate over the future of Birkenhead continues as the town looks to receive millions of pounds in investment.
The struggling town will see a new park along an old railway line, up to 21,000 new homes, and major changes to the town centre. It has been called “the biggest change for the town since 1947.”
A number of different projects will make up the 20-year framework with Wirral Council hoping to engage more than 2,000 people in the next three months through a new partnership with Placed - an organisation that engages people in design and planning. It will also be carrying out a six-week consultation to allow people to have their say on the general plans for Birkenhead town centre until January 18 and will start next Wednesday.
