They partially fill and reduce depths to canal boat depths. They are doing this around Vittoria Dock/East Float.

They have reduced the depths of docks in Liverpool city centre precluding deep water ships. The tall ships can not berth in the city centres docks as this mill town based company has made the docks into mill town canals. Totally out of character of the port.

Liverpool's heritage is deep water. The last council were mainly to blame for allowing all this rape of our heritage to happen. Peel only think of short term money. Now Wirral are being duped as well.

The key to London's Docklands was the DLR metro. It was built first to attract investment. Without rapid-transit right to this Wirral Waters complex it will fail - lets face it they are trying to move the centre of the Wirral to here, with Wirral wanting a city created out of all the towns. You always have the rail into the centre connecting the rest of the city/town.



Ideally they need a tunnel under the East float connecting Wirral Waters, Wallasey and Birkenhead and Liverpool. Draining the East Float and using cut and cover tunneling under, will affect shipping business, so a bored tunnel is the only way.

Everything I have read about Wirral Waters and Liverpool Waters tell me Peel are not serious enough and have only one agenda - land by stealth. None of their renders will materialize like they portray. Probably a lot of shed type buildings , like a Tescos, or the Arena at Kings Dock.
