Woodside regeneration takes another step forward with new landing stage and U-boat plans
The regeneration of the Woodside area of Birkenhead has taken another step forward today with Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram announcing the expected appointment of designers for an all new Mersey Ferries landing stage as well as an exciting future for the popular U-Boat Story attraction.
The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority will be appointing designers to complete initial plans for a new landing stage at Woodside ferry terminal. The new design will replace the existing stage which is reaching the end of its operational life.
Subject to funding being secured, the new landing stage will help maintain cross-river services running from Woodside as part of the long-term vision for the Mersey Ferries.
The Combined Authority is also partnering with Big Heritage to refresh the historic Woodside based U-Boat attraction. As the operators of the award-winning Western Approaches HQ museum in Liverpool, which brings to life the crucial Battle of the Atlantic, the organisation are the ideal partners for the new arrangement.
Steve Rotheram, Mayor of the Liverpool City Region said:
The move will link two of the best historic visitor attractions in the Liverpool City Region as well as helping to highlight the important role played by the region and its residents during the Second World War.
Dean Paton, CEO of Big Heritage said:
