The council will be paying rent for 35 years

Wirral Council is expected to pay £3.9m in rents for its new offices next year. The buildings are located in Birkenhead town centre off Alice Ker Square and are referred to as Mallory and Irvine. In 2023, the council completed the first phase of the Birkenhead Commercial District with the construction of the two buildings and moved into Mallory in early 2024 following a £9.2m fitout .

However he said the council could reduce this figure by £2m by pushing back some costs but this would have to be picked up at a later date when the empty space is occupied. He said the budget for next year was “still a work in progress” but the empty office space would add pressure to next year’s budget which has a projected overspend of £36m.
