Artist s impression of what will be built on the recently purchased Milton Pavements Several big regeneration plans in Wirral are set to move forward next year, despite the coronavirus pandemic. A number of towns in the east of the borough are set to benefit from major investment as a result. Here’s what’s happening in each area.
