It seems that the 'regeneration' of New Ferry involves it's one asset as a local shopping centre - adequate free parking - being sacrificed for more housing.

The Woodhead street car park, which is well used, is to be surrounded with cramped houses leaving a patch of grass the size of a postage stamp in the centre. This is labelled 'Community Meadow' in the plans. Evidently there is a wit amongst them. There is no parking there whatsoever. Anyone wanting to visit any of the shops there will be forced to use the local streets, those near the centre seem to be primarily used by local garages as their private car park.

Far from regenerating New Ferry, it will spell its death knell - at least as a shopping centre.

Their one aim seems to be to increase the housing density of the eastern side of the peninsula to unbearable levels, rather than to upset the residents of the western side with any new housing where there is far more room for it.

So once again we may lose local shops/business's; nothing new!
Why can't these officials see the obvious! How frustrating is all of this!

An additional 54 spaces are included to Grove Street car parks. The extended Grove Street car park joins on to Bebington Road.

There's a big report on parking somewhere as part of the public consultation.
