Councillors 'kept in the dark' amid concerns with Birkenhead plan

There have been calls for 'a full and frank explanation of what has been going on.'

Councillors say they are being "kept in the dark" over Wirral Council's plans for Birkenhead as concerns spread.

The plan outlines how the council will use £73.5m of government grant funding to regenerate parts of the Wirral. In response to questions, the council said it "remains committed to delivering a new market in the heart of Birkenhead town centre which will be sustainable and affordable" and added that the proposed move to Argos is temporary.

"For decades Birkenhead has been promised regeneration and it is now time to build, not to impose things against the wishes of traders and local councillors."
