The government is expected to give nearly £28m towards the project
The delivery of 1,500 new homes in the centre of Birkenhead has reached “a milestone” as major agreements were signed off to kickstart the development. The Hind Street Urban Village is a major regeneration project put forward by Wirral Council to develop a large site next to Birkenhead Central station. The new development would see the homes built over 10 to 15 years alongside a new school, new commercial space, as well as the demolition of two Mersey Tunnel flyovers.
” However the project still faces several hurdles in order to move forward including the awarding of £28m towards the project by Homes England. While no announcement has been made, Wirral Council said the government housing body was positive about the project and “a decision is expected in principle to award the funding.” Other hoops to jump through include planning permission and the pending purchase of the Dock Branch trainline by the local authority to help deliver a £15m new park .
