Throughout the world, towns and cities are increasingly looking to establish compressive and integrated urban greening strategies to guide environmental investment and improve ecological performance. This in part is driven by a desire to improve the visual quality, character and perception of places, but is now also being seen as a key infrastructure to manage natural resources and ecological systems. This approach for Wirral Waters is also wholly in line with the new Environment White Paper – Natural Choices – Securing the Value of Nature. This sets out the importance of creating and managing green infrastructure to deliver a range of benefits for urban areas. Wirral Waters faces particular challenges in that the surrounding environment is variable, with areas of high cultural and environmental quality and areas of very poor quality environment. This disparity in quality could be heightened when the plans for Wirral Waters, with plans for areas of high quality green space and improved access August 2011 Page 3 of 47 A Green Infrastructure Strategy - setting the scene for Wirral Waters to the blue spaces, are implemented if nothing changes in the surrounding areas. Such disparities will not serve the new development well and a wider plan to improve the green infrastructure in a wider area is called for and supported in the Wirral Waters applications. Figure 1Example of poor quality environment in the area around the Wirral Waters development This approach requires an integrated and strategic approach to investment, joining up different programmes and initiatives to maximise the economic, social and environmental return. The European Green City Index, a study by the Economist Intelligence Unit published in 2009, rates the environmental performance of 30 European cities. It takes a holistic approach to assessment by comparing how each city addresses issues of transport, water, waste and land use, air quality and environmental governance. Whilst it acknowledges high quality green infrastructure typically involves up-front costs it is increasingly recognised as a key indicator for improving both the long term environmental performance and the quality of life for urban communities. Stockholm, for example, has chosen to protect its green spaces for many years to promote its quality of life; this ensures that around 85% of the population live less than 300 metres from parks and green areas. Rome plans to plant 500,000 trees in order to establish ecological corridors between its various parks, and Vilnius, one of the lower- income cities, is seeking to make itself even greener by increase the quantum of green space per head of population. August 2011 Page 4 of 47 A Green Infrastructure Strategy - setting the scene for Wirral Waters CABE‟s international research into urban green space management highlighted the value of long term planning. Parks Victoria in Melbourne put in place a comprehensive strategy for the city‟s open space network to promote environmental equality, sustainability and long term delivery through partnerships with local organisations. Malmo in Sweden, demonstrates that investing heavily in good quality open space played a critical part in promoting the social quality and character of its experimental, and now hugely popular harbour-side neighbourhood, BO01. Toronto has set out to improve the green network in the city, a city that has plans to expand by 3m people. The setting and challenges for the city are similar to that for Birkenhead. Figure 2 Toronto Waterfront - with the start of a green network For Wirral Waters much work is already complete on establishing the principles of a strategic environmental framework. The Wirral Waters Strategic Regeneration Framework (SRF) and supporting Guiding Principles: 15. Landscape, Waterfront and Public Realm (11th December 2009) set the aspiration for this new city waterfront to be an exemplar regional environmental resource that will require „a shift beyond approaches driven by the quantity of greenspace; towards quality, function, distinction and diversity‟. August 2011 Page 5 of 47 A Green Infrastructure Strategy - setting the scene for Wirral Waters The principles highlight the value of taking a „Green Infrastructure‟ approach to holistically coordinate a complex and multifunctional set of initiatives and programmes that include: Spaces that promote healthy living, active sport and informal recreation Safe, attractive and walkable neighbourhoods Increased levels of ecology and biodiversity Infrastructure to improve waste management, drainage, energy and transport This Green Infrastructure Prospectus sets out a set of short, medium and long term projects that could take forward the SRF and be developed by a wide ranging partnership to guide investment in the strategic and comprehensive greening of Wirral Waters and it neighbourhood setting. Figure 3 SRF Composite Framework It has been prepared by The Mersey Forest, in partnership with Wirral MBC and Ian Parkinson Inc. and funded by the Forestry Commission through the NWDA Newlands Programme. The Mersey Forest Team has been at the heart of the Natural Economy North West environmental investment programme. Recently a comprehensive green infrastructure strategy for Liverpool forged a strong working relationship between the City Council and the local health sector and provided a robust evidence base for long term strategic planning. The city-wide strategy August 2011 Page 6 of 47 A Green Infrastructure Strategy - setting the scene for Wirral Waters identified key interventions and activities to address environmental and socio- economic needs and capitalise on opportunities, this can be achieved for the area around Wirral Waters. The Mersey Forest and partners also have an established track record in effective partnership working and building community capacity for local environmental programmes. It is a network of partnership organisations and stakeholders that has been built over many years to help guide and deliver a wide range of urban greening programmes. In setting out projects and next steps, this Prospectus is structured as: - Potential Projects and Partners - Connecting with the local context - Green Infrastructure Principles - A Road Map for Investment August 2011 Page 7 of 47 A Green Infrastructure Strategy - setting the scene for Wirral Waters Potential projects and partners: short, medium and long term The Wirral Waters Strategic Regeneration Framework (SRF) sets out Peel‟s ambition for the project to be a catalyst for the sustainable regeneration and growth of Inner Wirral and the wider City region. Of the ten goals established for the programme, the seventh – Creating an exemplar regional environmental resource – calls for „transformational change in environmental quality by working with partners in greening the city though long term investment in blue and green infrastructure‟. This transformational change cannot be brought about by piecemeal and fragmented open space initiates. It will require a coordinated delivery framework to prioritise strategic projects, maximise value for money, and ensure both implementation and management costs are defined at the outset in order to; Integrate new development with existing areas Enable a design and functional context for phased development Respond to evolving

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.

  • Liverpool City Region Combined Authority
    FINAL DRAFT (NOVEMBER 2017) Liverpool City Region Combined Authority Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2018-2028 1 FINAL DRAFT (NOVEMBER 2017) Foreword by the Liverpool City Region Mayor Public rights of way are both a significant part of our heritage and a major recreational resource. They enable people to get away from roads used mainly by motor vehicles and enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of the countryside within a large area of the city region, to which they would not otherwise have access. In many areas, public rights of way help to boost tourism and contribute to rural economies. Public rights of way can also provide a convenient means of travelling, particularly for short journeys, in both rural and urban areas. They are important in the daily lives of many people who use them for fresh air and exercise on bicycle, foot or horse, to walk their dog, to improve their fitness, or to visit local shops and other facilities. I am therefore proud to present the first Liverpool City Region Public Rights of Way Improvement Plan which sets out a vision of how the Rights of Way Network can make a positive contribution to supporting the economic, social and cultural resurgence and ambition of the City Region by improving transport links and opening up a choice of travel to Liverpool City Region visitors and residents. It is therefore crucial to make sure that public rights of way continue and contribute to an environment that is accessible, efficient, safe and reliable and will provide a step change towards further sustainable growth.
