From 1 May 2026, the Renters’ Rights Act will give those who rent their home stronger protections, fairer rules and greater security in where they live.
Earlier this week partners from across the housing, regeneration and community sectors came together for the launch of our new Strategic Housing Partnership (SHP) in what was an important milestone for Wirral.
The Partnership provides a forum for collaborative working at a time when many areas are experiencing well-recognised pressures across their housing systems.
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.
Young people facing homelessness in Wirral will continue to have access to safe accommodation, personalised support and a stable route towards independent living, thanks to a 12 month extension of ‘The Bridge’ - a supported housing service commissioned by Wirral Council and delivered by Forum Housing Association.
The Met Office Amber Cold Health Alert is in effect for the North West until 11 January at 12:00pm - read on to find out how to help anyone rough sleeping.
The award-winning Millers Quay residential development at Wirral Waters has reached full occupancy - marking a major milestone in the regeneration of the Wirral waterfront and proving the commercial success of this pioneering £130m project.
Some council areas will shut down, with others offering limited opening hours over the festive period meaning that some services will be unavailable at that time.
