Wirral actually getting that?
Gididi Gididi Goo.
Hopefully Max,it's a 30 year project but the Wirral council are keen to see
it built so that's one hurdle out of the way.
THE former Cammell Laird shipyard has been bought in a £100m deal by property developer Peel Holdings.
Owner Reddington Finance is understood to have sold the Wirral waterfront site in a deal that will see it change hands early next month.
It clears the way for Peel to include the former shipyard in its existing £4.5bn Wirral Waters plan to develop Birkenhead's docklands into a "mini-Dubai" over the next 30 years.

First phase plans for its ambitious Wirral Waters scheme are expected to go before council officials later this month.
Wraps off the new-look Wirral
AMBITIOUS £4bn plans to create a Manhattan-style skyline for Birkenhead will be revealed to the public this week.
Developer Peel Holdings, owners of Liverpool John Lennon Airport and the Port of Liverpool, unveiled a 30-year masterplan to regenerate Wallasey and Birkenhead docklands to councillors last August.
The company will now present its proposals, which it describes as the largest regeneration project in the UK, to the public at a meeting in Birkenhead tomorrow.
The scheme, to be called Wirral Waters, would see skyscrapers built along the waterfront for business, leisure and residential use.
Cllr Pat Hackett, cabinet member for regeneration, said it was vital the project improved the quality of life for people living close to the docklands.
The meeting is at the Lauries Centre, Birkenhead, at 7.30pm.
The new Woodside goes on display
AMBITIOUS plans to completely revamp Birkenhead’s waterfront will go on public display next week.
Woodside in Birkenhead provides some of the best views across to one of the world’s most recognisable sights – the Liverpool waterfront.
Now Peel Holdings are backing the council who say it has massive redevelopment potential.
Wirral’s Cabinet member for regeneration, Cllr Pat Hackett, said the involvement of a major developer such as Peel gave the masterplan extra credibility.
Cllr Hackett said the plans represented an opportunity for the site – directly opposite Liverpool’s World Heritage waterfront – to undergo a long-awaited renaissance.

It's about time Wirral had somerthing worth looking at from the Liverpool side of the Mersey.

Yeh! I guess! I suppose I react though to the prospect of a skyscrapered Birkenhead the same way I do to seeing McDonald's and KFC in England. . .

THE first set of tower blocks rising from Wirral’s docklands as part of the ambitious £4bn plans by developer Peel Holdings are likely to be approved by Wirral Council next week. more
I think the reason why it's only 16 stories is because of the location of the tower next to the East Float Mill warehouse,still I hope it looks good because it's in a fantastic location.I hope it blends in and respects the old warehouse,hopefully WW will progressively get bigger.
anyone would think the Wallasey Pool is in Birkenhead going from his thread aye
