Dock Branch Park

We asked: On 1st September 2021 Wirral Council embarked on the first of a series of consultation events aimed at capturing stakeholders’ ideas and feedback on the Dock Branch Park proposal, including a virtual 'Idea's Board' here on Have Your Say. The consultation events were designed to engage with stakeholders from a wide demographic spectrum including young people, people with a disability, parent groups and the public who will use the park on a daily basis

You said: In total 491 residents and stakeholders have contributed to the consultation carried out on the Ideas Board, Igloo workshops and pop-up events run by 'Placed'. Overall, there is support for the project to transform an unused part of Birkenhead into a valuable community asset. There is also a desire to be fully involved in the process of design to ensure that Dock Branch is responsive and designed in partnership with local communities.

We Did: The results of the consultation will be presented to the design team consisting of Mott McDonald, Building Design Partnership (BDP), Optimised Environments (OpEn) and officers of the Council. The findings of the consultation will be taken in to account and incorporated into the design of the park. Further consultation is planned for later in 2022.
