Wirral’s year as the Liverpool City Region Borough of Culture draws to a close with nine local community organisations set to receive funding to create a lasting legacy to the programme.
A vacant office building in Birkenhead is being transformed in to a dynamic home for up to 100 ‘makers’ and artists after Town Deal investment. The new creative hub will be a major boost to the town’s expanding creative scene.
Wirral Council's Leader, Cllr Paul Stuart, has welcomed the decision by a planning inspector to back the authority's decision to refuse plans to build on part of the borough's green belt.
Birkenhead is undergoing significant transformation with more than £100 million of Government funding secured by Wirral Council to support it.
And as the New Year gets going a major programme of events is now underway to allow people to have their say about changes to the town.
Birkenhead residents, workers, businesses and visitors are being urged to have their say on the opportunity for a dramatic transformation of Birkenhead Town Centre and the adjoining St Werburgh’s area.
