The exchanges to remain open are called enduring exchanges, here is a list of those Wirral ones which will be kept. Arrowebrook Bromborough Claughton Ellesmere Port Rock Ferry Wallasey Those to close are:- Birkenhead Caldy Eastham Heswall Hooton Hoylake Irby Mountwood Neston I was surprised to see Liverpool Central, the massive Lancaster House building on Old Hall Street is to close as an exchange. There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music.
