Mother Redcap Place (Liscard) Public Realm Improvements

We Asked

Wirral Council has secured funding from the UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund to revitalise Liscard Town Centre.

Part of the funding will focus on transforming an area known as ‘Mother Redcap Place’, which is the area outside of McDonalds illustrated below, consisting of Greenfields way leading into the Cherry Tree Centre and the bus stop on Liscard Crescent. We developed concept designs, available to view on the Project Page, for the area to help make it more welcoming and vibrant space. Feedback was requested on the these proposals.

You Said

The questionnaire was responded to by 70 people.

Overall, most participants (58.5%) support the proposals for Mother Redcap Place, 17.1% strongly support and 41.4% support the proposals. 25.8% oppose the proposals, with 12.9% in strong opposition, and 12.9% in opposition.

When asked to rank proposals according to which would most improve the experience of visiting Liscard, “Better lighting to improve night-time safety” was most highly ranked. Concerns were highlighted about Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) in this area and linked to this, ASB caused specifically by the anti-social use of bicycles, particularly by youths, and food delivery cycle couriers congregating outside McDonald’s restaurant. It was felt this should be addressed along with improvements to the public realm.

We Did

We have carefully reviewed the feedback shared during the consultation on proposed public realm improvements to the area to be known as Mother Redcap Place. The Council is now preparing to commission the next phase of design in early 2026. These updated designs will reflect the views you shared and will be subject to further public consultation, ensuring the community continues to shape the future of the space.
