Birkenhead and Liscard Town Centres regeneration business cases

Wirral Council

Metro Dynamics was commissioned by Wirral Council to develop their £25m Town Deal business cases and a £10m DLUHC funding bid for Liscard town centre regeneration. The town centre regeneration projects encompassed a suite of cultural, heritage and creative, education, workspace, and public realm projects designed to re-animate Birkenhead town centre and Wirral Waterfront and revitalise Liscard high street while unlocking the commercial viability for new residential development opportunities.

The Metro Dynamics team supported Wirral Council in making compelling cases for investment, ensuring the projects were viable, deliverable, and impactful from the outset. We engaged with a wide array of partners, including National Museums Liverpool, Wirral Chambers, Peel Holdings, and local enterprise and charity organisations, to aid in developing various project elements and conducting due diligence to ensure commercial viability, deliverability and robust economic cases. All business cases were approved by the Council, acting as the accountable body, and £25m funding was approved by DLUHC. Additionally, the Liscard funding bid was successful, securing £10m Levelling Up Fund from DLUHC.
