Future of Birkenhead market in doubt

There has been a market building in Birkenhead since 1835 - it's moved several times and has been in its current location since 1977.

Leaked emails now suggest Wirral Council鈥檚 regeneration chief put the brakes on major plans to deliver a brand new market for Birkenhead months before it was public.

It appears proposals for a new market have been increasing substantially in cost, and could be paused while other options are considered.

Wirral Council say more details on a decision will be made shortly.
