yep thats birkenhead all over, have not been there for a long long time and have no plans on ever going back, the place is very discouraging from the scanks in the precinct to the skol super cider swigging yobs and drug addicts around the surrounding areas as u have pointed out.

I know Birkenhead does need a revamp but Wallasey is much worse as a shopping area.

They need to sort out the main town, I did hear that once Asda opens Netto is getting knocked down the and multi story car park is getting made bigger.

No point though moving everything towards the waterfront when Asda is moving in at the top end of town.

For years, Birkenhead has relied heavily on the public sector and as we know at the moment there are severe spending cuts going on so there really is very little money available.

I wouldn't attach any relevance to the Wirral Waters scheme at the moment as short to medium term it's going to make no difference. In fact, a lot of our mature wiki members won't even be alive when it's finished.

The last time any money was poured into Birkenhead was 1990's when Europa Boulevard was developed with the cinema etc.

It was private money in the 90's albeit with grants.

With competing shopping centres, better transport and empty office buildings, who is bolstering the local economy?
