Work on walkers’ route

PHASE two of the Wirral Way Restoration Project will see the popular walkers’ route partially closed.

The work involves the stretch from the visitors’ centre at Thurstaston towards Heswall.

Work has begun on resurfacing this section of path, meaning it will be closed for three weeks.

Cllr Bob Moon, Wirral council’s cabinet member for culture, leisure and tourism, said: “We obviously apologise for the inconvenience caused over the next couple of weeks while this vital work takes place, but also appeal for people’s understanding.

“I’m confident that the benefits of the improvements will far outweigh the short-term disruption, resulting in a greater quality of life for all those who use the path and park.”

The bridleway and cycle path are being improved and the whole area will be more accessible.
