Openreach currently has 5600 telephone exchanges, they aim to close 4600 of them, initially 108 exchanges will be closed by 2030 then the rest after that, no Wirral exchanges are to close before 2030.

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.
