Wirral Council is moving ahead with its controversial plans to move Birkenhead Market into a former Argos store.
These included the existing market being redeveloped or a portion of St Johns Pavements renovated. However, on the back of a study conducted over the last three months, Wirral Council officers are recommending councillors move ahead with the Argos proposal when its regeneration committee meets next week, arguing this is the only feasible option.
£14m of government funding was given to the council to develop a new market on House of Fraser with the rest of the £28m budget made up from money from land sales, developer profits, and potential borrowing. However the final estimated costs for that scheme were put at £31.6m. If the council were to renovate the existing market building, the report said this would cost £17.7m and wouldn’t be completed until March 2027. It said existing traders would need to be relocated during development, a revamped market “may hinder the release of the site as a catalyst for regeneration,” and the building would need significant work as it is “old, in very poor condition, with many components beyond their serviceable lifespan.
