History will be made this week as the first new Mersey Ferry in over 60 years - and built in Wirral - begins sea trials on the river, giving people the first chance to see the Royal Daffodil in action.
More local firms and entrepreneurs will continue to get fully funded, practical help to start or grow a business thanks to an extension of the Wirral’s Business Support Service through to March 2027.
Wirral is being showcased to audiences across the country this spring as part of VisitEngland’s ‘All on the North West Coast’ campaign, which is promoting some of the region’s most distinctive coastal destinations.
Wirral-based creatives are being encouraged to apply for a series of exciting new music commissions as part of Liverpool Music Month and the Liverpool City Region Summer of Music 2026.
A successful partnership recruitment event at Arrowe Park Hospital has helped 21 Wirral residents secure job offers as Healthcare Assistants, allowing them to take their first steps into a career in the NHS.
Residents and businesses in New Ferry came along to find out more about the next stages of regeneration being planned in the area and give their views on the latest designs.
At the March meeting of the Economy, Regeneration and Housing Committee members considered a report updating them on a range of housing issues across the borough - from new affordable homes being built and temporary accommodation levels to rough sleeping and help for vulnerable people.
Residents seeking work will benefit from a further year of dedicated support as Wirral Council approves a 12 month extension to the ReachOut Worklessness Support Service, delivered by Involve Northwest.
Residents, community groups and stakeholders are being invited to take part in the next phase of public consultation on new planning guidance that will help shape the quality of future development across the borough.
