  • East Wirral(Mersey Estuary)
    River Mersey near to Eastham Country Park. East Wirral (Mersey Estuary) The East Wirral route takes you from the start of the Manchester Ship Canal on the banks of the River Mersey, into the woodlands of Eastham Country Park and through the area of industrial heritage of the east coast to Seacombe. Along the route you will pass near to the historic village of Port Sunlight, through the Victorian suburb of Rock Park, past Cammell Lairds Shipyard, and along to Woodside where you can see the world’s first rail tram system. 60 From Woodside Ferry Terminal and the U-boat Story you will pass the docks, the Twelve Quays Irish Ferry Terminal and on towards Seacombe, where you will find Spaceport and the best views of the Liverpool Waterfront World Heritage Site. The River Mersey was once renowned as a polluted river but now it’s not unusual to see seals, porpoise and dolphin in the Mersey. Charter fishing boats regularly pass from the Mersey to Liverpool Bay which has become one of the best inshore cod fishing grounds in north west Europe. 61 East Wirral (Mersey Estuary) Eastham Country Park 1 Eastham Country Park Eastham Country Park holds immense value and is a long- standing, major leisure and nature conservation area. It covers some 43 hectares and it is the last remaining substantial area of undeveloped land with public access on the Wirral bank of the River Mersey between Birkenhead and Ellesmere Port. Its location gives it particular importance as a local amenity, wildlife and educational resource. The site includes approximately 26 hectares of mature mixed deciduous woodland, 8 hectares of amenity grassland, 3 hectares of new plantation woodland and 3 hectares of natural grassland and scrub.

  • Agenda Item 4
    Agenda Item 4 WIRRAL COUNCIL CABINET – 27 TH NOVEMBER 2008 REPORT OF THE DEPUTY CHIEF EXECUTIVE/DIRECTOR OF CORPORATE SERVICES INTERNATIONAL LINKS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report outlines the activity undertaken by the recent Wirral delegation visit to Suzhou, China from the 23 rd – 27 th September 2008. The report also recommends the development of four projects that will build upon the relationship that has been successfully developed. Background 1.1 Cabinet approved on 22 nd May 2008 further work to be undertaken to develop an International Links Strategy, including the establishment of a link with China. A similar discussion took place within the Investment Strategy Board which concluded that a link with China could significantly enhance the delivery of Wirral’s Investment Strategy. A further report was considered by Cabinet on July 9 th 2008 and it was agreed that a delegation should visit Suzhou between 23 rd – 27 th September. 1.2 The City of Suzhou was identified as a city with which it would be advantageous to develop a link. Suzhou is an ancient city with a history of achievement in arts and culture and it is also a major industrial centre and its high tech industries are at the centre of China’s rapid development. Cabinet was clear that the developing relationship be not just economic but should also encompass cultural and social areas such as education, the arts, and tourism. 1.3 The Government of Suzhou had expressed a strong desire to establish formal links with Wirral. Following a meeting in London with Mr Wang Yang, the Director of the Bureau of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, a detailed proposition on what the mutual benefits might be was progressed and Cabinet approved the visit of an appropriate delegation to formalise this activity.
