Wirral Council will begin developing its masterplan later this year
Parking is the most urgent issue to be addressed as Wirral council prepares to develop its masterplan for West Kirby.
As the masterplan for West Kirby was not yet developed, the council was told it could not rely on this when it argued the proposal for 32 flats was premature. Later this year, people will be asked by the local authority to give public feedback on plans that will reportedly include some wider proposals to improve the street scene as well as plans for the concourse area.
Eileen Middleton, who works in the town’s greengrocers, said: “A lot more people would wander down here but then more parking is needed for that.” Having moved to West Kirby two years ago, he said parking was his only complaint as the town has a “real sense of community,” a hub of independents and safe streets, adding: “What more could you want from a seaside town?”
Though parking improvements was the main issue, people said antisocial behaviour was a big problem, particularly around the concourse and near the town’s Morrisons. Others wanted more sun shelters, particularly down on the promenade on hot days. He said “So many of these things are decided by funding. It starts off with this is what we can get money for, let’s start a consultation and the money decides where it’s going to go. What are its strengths and what are its weaknesses? Then we look about building on those strengths and supporting opportunities.”
