Birkenhead Waterfront Phase 3
We Asked
We asked for your views on proposed transport and public realm improvements around the Wirral waterfront, including the area from the Argyle Street/Conway Street roundabout to Woodside Ferry Terminal. These proposals aim to enhance connections between Birkenhead Town Centre and the waterfront, supporting economic growth, improving accessibility, and encouraging active travel. This phase of consultation focuses on gathering feedback on planned changes to roads, crossings, cycleways, and public transport infrastructure, which form part of a wider regeneration programme supported by government and regional funding.
You Said
You said that views on the proposed changes were mixed, with varying levels of support across the three areas. Feedback showed that while some respondents welcomed improvements for walking, cycling, and pedestrian safety, many expressed concerns about spending, traffic and parking restrictions, and the impact on local access. Supporters highlighted benefits such as improved active travel routes and revitalisation, while objections often centred on perceived misuse of funds and disruption. A number of respondents were unsure, citing scepticism about the project’s purpose, frustration with previous works, and uncertainty about the value of the changes.
