The Place Plan marks the start of a shared journey, with regeneration powered by local people. It protects Birkenhead’s social and cultural fabric while driving a successful and inclusive future. This is about doing things with purpose. Not waiting for change but making it happen.
But we are not re-inventing the wheel. We are learning from the success of others, such as in Northern Ireland.
The Northern Ireland Living High Streets initiative notes that:
“Traditionally, people lived their entire lives in and around high streets as a matter of choice. Evidence continues to show that people benefit from living close to essential amenities and services that only urban
centres can offer, including the opportunity to meet easily and connect with others as neighbours. This is especially true for older and more vulnerable residents.”
But will it make a difference? Yes.
