New Ferry is set to be transformed five years after an explosion which devastated the Wirral town.
On March 25, 2017, Pascal Blasio deliberately blew-up his own furniture store. The blast injured 81 people and devastated the town.
Wirral Council has been criticised for being slow to step in and try to revive New Ferry since then, but there is now a real sense of momentum among council officers who feel things are about to move forward at pace. Neil Mitchell, a project manager in Wirral Council’s Special Projects Team, said: “Within three years New Ferry will look completely different.”
