Project chaos won't stop big plans for Wirral

Waterfront revamp is still on track - despite £12m overspend at other site

- By EDWARD BARNES

A MAJOR transformation plan for the Birkenhead waterfront has taken another step forward.

The huge scheme aims to provide better transport options and improve a historic square in an area people have said needs to change.

The £22.6m Wirral Council scheme aims to improve parts of the town, with just under £10m for Argyle Street, nearly £10m for the Woodside area, and £3m for Hamilton Square. Improvements will include a new public space, cycle lanes, better pedestrian access, and other upgrades.
