Plans to deliver more affordable homes, improve housing conditions and support residents with the cost of living – particularly by improving the energy efficiency of homes - are set to be considered by councillors next month.

A developer has been appointed to build new affordable homes on the sites of the former annexes to Wallasey town hall.

Wirral Council’s Leader has praised a commitment by a major local housing provider to deliver additional new homes across the borough.

Wirral’s latest Authority Monitoring Report (AMR) is now online and shows the progress against the requirements of the borough’s Local Plan.

Wirral Council continues to support local people at risk of or experiencing homelessness with a range of specialist services.

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.

A council-owned building in Wirral is set to be sold to a locally-based charity after being put on the market.

Vital help for people at risk of homelessness across the borough has been secured through a series of contracts agreed by Wirral Council. 

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.
