Following the Baseline Study, the Wirral Waters Team has worked with Wirral MBC and other agencies to ‘refresh and expand’ the ideas set out in the ‘Initial Vision’ and respond to the questions and opportunities identified in the Baseline Study.

Given the scale and complexity of the Wirral Waters project, these refreshed and expanded ideas are set out as 10 Goals – with each responding to a particular aspect of the sustainable communities agenda.

The 10 Goals for Wirral Waters are:

1. Celebrating the past, shaping the future
2. An internationally recognisable, city waterfront
3. Creating places of distinction, destinations and market concepts for the 21^st Century
4. A dynamic, prosperous Inner Wirral at the heart of the City Region
5. World class connections, access for all
6. Sharing prosperity, health and well being
7. An exemplar environmental resource
8. Securing long term success, starting today
9. Engage and inspire
10. A robust delivery framework

A more detailed explanation of the Goals and the principles and projects through which they will be delivered is provided in the Vision Statement accessed through the link below.

More detailed ideas and proposals have been developed by thinking about how different events, destinations and activities may be brought together to create new experiences and places to live, work, learn and visit.

Working in this way, emerging ideas have been refined to create an interlocking family of 15 neighbourhoods across the Wirral Waters project. To connect these neighbourhoods to each other and to existing, surrounding neighbourhoods, destinations, community hubs, bus, rail and ferry stations, a network of clearly defined streets and places are proposed as a new ‘City Structure’.

East Float and Bidston Dock are proposed as ‘Catalyst’ neighbourhoods as the scale of change and investment is capable of shaping the surrounding ‘Partnership’ neigbourhoods over time.
