Birkenhead 2040 Regeneration Framework

We've launched a new consultation on nationally significant proposals for the transformation of Birkenhead 👉 haveyoursay.wirral.gov.uk/reg...
Work at Milton Pavements is complete, projects at Wirral Waters and Birkenhead Market are underway and funding is in place to remove the two flyovers near the Queensway tunnel.
But there’s a LOT more.
It’s all part of a wider ambition to recreate Birkenhead as a waterfront garden city with some key objectives including:
✅ New mixed-use family neighbourhoods
✅ Renewed residential areas making the town “greener” and more attractive
✅ A diverse local economy
✅ Improved connectivity with the city region
Some of the ‘catalyst projects’ to help us get there include:
👉Creating a beautiful linear park to link three key development areas
👉A new commercial district to increase footfall in the town centre
👉A mass transit system for Central and Wirral Water areas
Feedback from past consultations has helped shape this vision and the eight-week consultation will run for eight weeks from 24 March 2021.
It’s your opportunity to help refine our ideas and build the future. These will be the biggest changes to Birkenhead since 1947 and will also support the development of Wirral’s Local Plan.

looks and sounds great,and wish all involved the best of luck, it is long over due, playing 2nd fiddle to liverpool for years. A young talented team need to be at the heart of this not the usual old cronies who have consistently put their own needs before the residents of Birkenhead, look forward, stop felling trees, stop allowing green belt building from greedy developers, and yes think of the future, we could be an example to the rest of the world in how we have turned a run down post war town into a vibrant, healthy modern area we are proud to live in. Thank you for the vision please let it happen.

Sorry folks but this ain't ever going to happen, not if Wirral Council has anything to do with it.

[@pippaDlightful]

Hope you all like this idea.. as you will not be able to move freely outside this 15minute city. And you will not own your own transport.

[@elizabethclayton2587]

Nothing for me here!

[@colinwirral1738]

Change the council and remove some of the lowlife: it is currently a no go area, and the proposals might have a chance.

[@paulmcnamara6325]

Turn that noise cant hear what shes saying!!huh

[@andy_xtr3861]

Birkenhead has great potential and is in a good geographical position. Hopefully this will give local people employment and opportunities to better themselves.

[@johnpaton1549]

Sounds good .but nothing will happen.the Wirral is a nice place . trouble is there is no jobs .we need the docks to expand .a new rail network .but as the government spends all the money on the south .no chance

[@scrodulatum]

Replacing Charing Cross roundabout would be a good start

[@ThePigeon_Army]

Everyone that lives in Birkenhead knows this ain’t gonna happen.

[@jackmackenzie6721]

Brave to set a target that early, for you lot.

[@yobeatthat85]

Exciting times....hopefully the new homes in the new green spaces won't be filled with dependant dossers because before long they will be no go zones. Best of luck WBC

[@thomasmccullough6446]

Looks an exciting plan .Hopefully it will see WBC reverse it's policy of felling trees for no apparent reason .The appearance of the town could be improved now if people stopped dropping litter .

This looks incredible! I like the salvation and priority of the green spaces with the inclusion of high rise plan to the boundary of the Mersey.

[@excossack]

Certainly and ambitious project and what Birkenhead needs after years of decline. The mass transit system planned would be a good candidate to make use of the old railway cuttings and link central Birkenhead to Wirral waters in a circular route and extend down to the new build houses in the North end. This could then help the people at the Penny bridge end of wallasey get into birkenhead easier than using buses. Make use of the old railway infrastructure with trams for example.

[@alanrobertson1055]

Really good video and plans.

[@timothywatson1982]

This looks set to protect Wirral's greenbelt and so its something I support.

[@andrewkayley1887]

Exciting Stuff - let’s hope this happpens 🤞
