The new park has previously been described as a catalyst for changes in the town
A brand new £15m park connecting one end of a town centre to another could open by February 2027 according to a new report. Dock Branch Park was previously expected to open at the end of this year, 2024. Wirral Council intends to create the park along the old railway line which stretches from Tower Road in the north of the town to Green Lane train station . It was last used in the 1980s.
The council is in the process of looking to acquire the site from Network Rail though it has faced delays as Wirral Council carries out a number of inspections on bridges along the route. Once the current condition is assessed, funding is expected to be bidded for from the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority to fund the renovations and repairs.
