Wirral Council is understood to be planning to invest £6m of public funds into refurbishing a former Argos unit in Birkenhead.
In this plan, the Echo understands it is outlined how the council plans to use more than £14m of Future High Streets Funding it has received from the government. This includes over £1.5m already been spent on developing plans for a brand new market at the former House of Fraser on Grange Road. A Wirral Council spokesperson said: “The future of Birkenhead Market is of paramount importance to Wirral Council. The Market will be a vital part in the regeneration plans for the town centre and it is critical the Market is delivered in the right way.”
The trader who did not wish to be named said the council needed to accommodate all the current traders “to achieve a vibrant town centre,” adding: “Constituents and investors will be forced to ask what’ll get cancelled next. “The Argos building is not a high-quality showcase building, which we and the Wirral public were promised. It will not be a temporary solution because so much money is being spent on it.
