Yep. The sooner it is all brought into Liverpool, or a new name such as Liverpool Bay and have a mayor like London the better. Some council offices can be on the Wirral. The Wirral is in the socio/economic sphere of Liverpool. It must all pull the one way.
This shopping mall could have gone on the land behind Bidston Dock and the water left.
Below a ship capsized in the dock. The docks was filled-in, in 2003.
Below: The plan was to take Bidston Dock even further inland with branch docks. The Great Float and Bidston Dock was a sort of canal running inland. There was a plan to take it to Liverpool Bay at Moreton.

As they have not used the dock for any purpose since infilling, and it was clearly a land by stealth ploy, Peel should be made to excavate the dock.
