Birkenhead Waterfront and Surrounds

Wirral Council has commissioned a design team to deliver highway and public realm improvements to Wirral waterfront and its surrounding areas, covering the area from and including the Argyle Street/ Conway Street roundabout to Woodside Ferry Terminal. This project is called ‘Wirral Waterfront and Surrounds’ and can be split into three parts – Argyle Street, Hamilton Square and Station, and Woodside and the Waterfront. The design team, which includes Mott Macdonald, Planit-IE and PLACED, are looking at how these areas could be redesigned to be more attractive with improved landscaping, more accessible walking and cycling spaces and better connection between the Central Birkenhead retail area with the Waterfront.

This project is funded by various funding pots including the Towns Fund and Levelling Up Fund from the UK Government and Liverpool City Region Combined Authority. Wirral Council’s bid to the Government included the idea that investment should focus on the conservation area around Hamilton Square and the strategic transport locations of Hamilton Square Station and Woodside Ferry Terminal. The council’s bid focused on these areas because they function as a key corridor between the waterfront and the town centre. This project is also part of the wider programme of regeneration activities in Birkenhead as part of the 2040 Framework.

PLACED are running a series of public and community engagement activities as part of this consultation process to hear and gather your thoughts on the redesigning of Wirral Waterfront and its surrounding areas. PLACED are a Liverpool-based social enterprise who engage communities in the design, planning and development of the urban built environment.
