Wirral Council Leader,Wirral

Cllr Paul Stuart said the Argos plans were 'the only thing we have got'

Wirral Council’s leader said the handling of new Birkenhead Market plans “could have been better from the start.”

Labour council leader Cllr Paul Stuart, who has led the local authority since May 2023, claimed engagement with traders “did get better” in the last year but said: “I think engagement with traders could have been better from the start.” Traders have previously told the ECHO that communication with the council has not improved, with some feeling kept in the dark about what criteria Wirral Council will use to select new traders for Argos. As a result, traders are looking to go their own way and are developing early plans to move into the town centre’s former Marks and Spencer shop.

If a market can be successfully established in Marks and Spencers, its traders association said members would move there instead of the Argos site that Wirral Council is investing £8m into. This money needs to be spent by spring 2026.
