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.
This potential will be realised through the implementation of a comprehensive strategy that does not settle for second-best or shortterm “quick wins” that undervalue Birkenhead’s prized assets. We can learn from other places, but we cannot copy them. Change is a process unique to each place and all new projects should build on the town’s inherent strengths to grow a sustainable investment environment, while safeguarding opportunities for the future.
Community Leadership & Project Development…
By using this community-led framework, Backin’ Birkenhead can grow and tend the town like a garden, not
develop it like a machine. This framework can turn this historic new town into a leading exemplar of
sustainable urban living, showing how the community can be involved in leadership and why this is
important.
