Wirral's new freeport expected to bring in nearly £50m every year

Wirral’s new freeport is expected to bring in nearly £50m every year according to a council report.

This comes as Wirral Council has revealed how it plans to use an estimated £15m generated linked to the new Wirral Waters freeport and invest in areas like Birkenhead and Seacombe.

The £15m is expected to be generated over five years through a new Freeport Investment Fund linked to the Freeport being established on the Birkenhead docks with an estimated £50m in added value to the Wirral expected to be brought in every year.
