Hopes of bright future for historic Wirral buildings

TWO Merseyside landmark buildings could receive a £4.3m investment over the next two years for essential repairs.

Wirral Council is currently exploring future options for its town halls in Wallasey and Birkenhead.

The repairs are being carried out as the local authority expects to be responsible for both for at least the next two years.

As they are listed buildings, this means the council must make sure they remain in good condition and weathertight.

Repairs will be carried out to the frames, roofs, external walls, stairs, ramps, windows, and external doors of the buildings. A number of services have also been moved into Wallasey Town Hall.
