00:10The local authority said it was another major step forward in plans to revitalise the town centre.
00:15Two plans are being put forward in the town centre including the creation of a new neighbourhood around St Wyrberg Square near Birkenhead Central Station as well as wider plans across Birkenhead Town Centre.
00:252,255 homes could be built in these areas and will tie into other plans for the town including the 1,500 home Hind Street Urban Village.
00:35Wirral Council could soon make another major decision about whether to buy an old railway line that's hoping to transform it into a ÂŁ15m park.
00:43The local authority has been developing plans for a new park in Birkenhead that will run along the old Dock Branch train line that cuts through the town centre.
00:51The local authority intends to create the park along the line which stretches from Tower Road near Wirral Waters to Green Lane train station.
