Decision made on eyesore building

A DECISION has been made by Wirral Council over a derelict Wallasey office block after months of speculation about the future of the building.

Dominick House, the former government office building on St Alban's Road currently towers over Liscard town centre but lies derelict with multiple windows either smashed or boarded up. The building closed in 2018.

Wirral Council was planning to sell its freehold for the site to Prospect Estates, the owner of the leasehold, in 2022 but this was postponed. Since then, the building has fallen further into a state of disrepair.

In March, there were calls by Liscard's councillors for immediate action to be taken over the building. They said Wirral Council had been pursuing leaseholder Prospect Estates to make the building safe.
