Tranmere

Bordering Birkenhead and Rock Ferry, with breathtaking panoramic views of Liverpool Bay, Tranmere is village living in the 21st Century.

Tranmere has seen substantial housing investment in recent years. Since 1998 over £50million has been invested in the housing market of Tranmere. The final piece of the jigsaw for Tranmere is the Church Road Corridor, where the vision is to create a vibrant housing market by 2012 with better quality homes and greater choice with the emphasis on home ownership.

Situated to the South of Birkenhead, adjacent to the former Cammell Laird dockyard and associated Maritime industrial areas, inland Tranmere borders Birkenhead and Rock Ferry.

The 'Church Road Masterplan' area is characterised by a declining traditional shopping area located along the main road corridor and a mixture of 19th century terraced residential properties and larger semi-detached dwellings concentrated immediately to the rear and east of the Church Road corridor.

After resident and stakeholder consultation events were undertaken, over 75% of all respondents felt that the most radical option for large-scale demolition and redevelopment would be the most effective proposal in addressing this part of Tranmere's social and physical decline.

All in all, the new development will see the acquisition and clearance of over 110 properties and the redevelopment of more than 150 new homes, mainly owner occupied, improved community facilities and a new retail centre forming a new urban village square to act as a community focal point.

Lovell, DK Architects and Wirral Council have been working on the plans for the new homes and retail centre for many months along with residents and demolition has already started to take place. It is anticipated that Lovell will be on Autumn 2009 with the retail centre being completed by Summer 2010.

Nearby amenities include Rock Retail Park and two parks that have received significant investment from Housing Market Renewal. Tranmere is a great location to bring up your family. Live Wirral. Love Wirral.
