Structural and open space improvement programme
This involves essential maintenance of the 400m long Merseyway bridge, which supports the heart of the shopping centre. We've already carried out extensive repairs and structural improvements from below and we now need to waterproof the bridge to extend its lifespan.
We'll be taking this opportunity to improve the shopping centre open space with:
- high quality paving
- new lighting
- benches
- planters
- landscaping
These works will help to support the wider regeneration of the town centre and will complement the investments planned at Stockroom and the former BHS unit, which are part of our ongoing strategy to improve the high street and create a vibrant town centre that benefits visitors, residents and local businesses.
We plan to have these improvements completed by summer 2023.
