There's been talk of a new station on the estate for years
The Wirral has been promised a brand new Merseyrail station - but after years of promises, local people remain sceptical.
If the station is built, the current plan is to see trains stopping at the Woodchurch more regularly going direct to Liverpool. It’s also hoped a new train station would lead to greater private sector investment in the area and provide a transport link to Arrowe Park Hospital. “I would use the train quite a lot. It’s a lot easier and I would go to Liverpool a lot more. I have got family over there but it’s such a faff to get over.”
Others felt other issues around the estate needed to be tackled first such as the road conditions. Many pointed to the recent decision by Wirral Council to close the estate’s library and leisure centre as a symbol of what they saw as a lack of investment in the area which has previously been called “the forgotten estate in the middle.”
