    Smile Large Asda to being considered for

    Birkenhead, wirral is to see the return of a large asda superstore,
    plans submitted and are up for review September 13th
    More here http://www.wirral.gov.uk/planning/Re...anted=Register
    Location of the store will require demolition of several existing shops, which back onto several roads in the area, but generally, to get an idea, it will be locaited next to the current woolworth store, and bon mach, then the store will travel back across the exisiting car park towards exmouth street and near to the fire station, this is going to be a large structure if approved, and will also accomodate a car park.

    £234m deal for Birkenhead shipyard
    Dec 10 2007 by Neil Hodgson, Liverpool Echo

    BIRKENHEAD-based North West Shiprepairers and Shipbuilders has clinched a £234m Ministry of Defence deal that will “underpin” the future of the yard and its staff.

    The yard will maintain and repair 11 vessels for the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA), which supports Royal Navy operations throughout the world.

    Such contracts are awarded on a five yearly rolling basis with regular performance reviews and involve servicing the vessels until the end of their operational life.

    The company, which operates on the site of the former Cammell Laird shipyard and employs about 300 staff, has worked for more than two years on clinching the deal.

    Managing director John Syvret said: “This was a very important day in the company’s history. These contracts underpin the company’s future.”

    Over the past two years the shipyard has completed £17.57m-worth of work on four RFA vessels and Mr Syvret added: “The company consistently delivers a good quality product on time and to budget, this is what the ship owners and operators want and need and leads to repeat business for the company.”

    This coupled with the news that Cammel Laird has a new future ahead of it and that there is hope for Rolls Royce is excellent for the city and region.

    The container development at the Port of Liverpool is as big a development in terms of wealth for the local economy as Grosvenor.

    Liverpool city centre is rightly becoming a major tourist and retail destination but in my view manufacturing and heavy industry are still integral to this city's future as they were to its past. I believe the daily, and weekly drip drip of closures of heavy industry in Merseyside that you would hear in the past, during the decline years is now over. Whilst there will be losses at the fringes Merseyside's manufacturing and industrial future is bright.

    Plans are set to begin with the redevelopment of the iconic Central Hydraulic Tower, at the Four Bridges, in Seacombe, into a restaurant and hotel complex.

    This has been described in the supporting documents for the planning application as an “Early Win” and would be aiming to spark further regeneration of the area.

    This first Wirral Waters planning application made by Peel as part of the scheme was warmly welcomed by the council’s cabinet member for regeneration, Cllr Pat Hackett, who said the application was “the first part of an exciting step in the massive redevelopment of the waterside dock area”.

    Cllr Hackett said: “They have been talking about a £4.5bn investment over the next 30 years.

    “Peel tell us they can see the fantastic potential of this location and this is the first step, with, I expect, many more schemes to come before us.”

    The planning application is for “part demolition, refurbishment and extension of the former Hydraulic Tower into a restaurant with ancillary display space and managers accommodation” along with a “four-storey hotel building, parking, public realm improvement and landscaping”.

    The company plans to build a 105 square metre glazed extension to the Tower to provide waterside dining and add an outside terrace.

    The Tower was built in 1868 by the then Dock Engineer Jesse Hartley, and bears a striking resemblance to Siena’s Gothic town hall Torre del Mangia.

    Howcome we don't have restriction laws like this for Mann Island since It's a world heritage site?
