Be part of the spectacular Wirral vision

Wirral is poised for a momentous period of transformation that will see a raft of spectacular projects, heralding enormous investment and boundless opportunities. 

The UK’s biggest regeneration project – Wirral Waters - is set to start at Birkenhead and Wallasey. This visionary £4.5 billion, 30 year redevelopment of Birkenhead and Wallasey docks will have a major economic impact on Wirral and the Northwest region – creating around 27,000 jobs.

On a borough-wide level, Wirral is in a strong position to build on recent success as a result of its geographic links with areas of economic growth: to the south in Chester and North Wales, and to the east in Liverpool City Centre and the wider Merseyside conurbation.

More than 200,000 sq ft of quality business units were developed in 2006, and there is a continuing development programme to meet intense demand for prime office and industrial locations.

Wirral has 301 hectares of brownfield land available for potential development and its waterfront and coastal assets are a unique selling point.  They distinguish and elevate Merseyside from major competitor cities such as Manchester and Leeds, and give the city region a unique sense of place that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world.
