Birkenhead 2040 Regeneration Framework

We've launched a new consultation on nationally significant proposals for the transformation of Birkenhead 👉 https://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.
