For quite some time I have been pressing for action on the long-standing eye sore buildings by Birkenhead Library on Borough Road. I met again with council officers recently for an update. As a result I can report:
- Compulsory purchase orders to secure ownership of the last few buildings are now complete.
- Legal measures to facilitate demolition of the buildings should be in place by February/March.
- Demolition will take around 10 weeks and will commence as soon as the disconnection of utilities is complete.
- Planning permission to landscape the area has been granted and this will take around four weeks post demolition.
This is very positive news and I am hopeful that this area will finally have been transformed by mid-2017. I will continue to press officers to ensure this remains a top priority.
