New Ferry, Wirral regeneration

In 2022, Wirral Council appointed Regenda as the preferred supplier to deliver new homes as part of the regeneration of New Ferry. 

Planning permission for the first phase of this project was granted in April 2023, which will see the construction of 34 affordable rent and rent to buy homes being built over two sites.  

What is being built 

In phase 1, 34 one and two bedroom apartments will be build across two sites: 

Site B is located on Bebington Road. This site will comprise: 

  • 11 one bedroom apartments 
  • 3 two bedroom apartments 

These apartments will be available for affordable rent and will be managed by Regenda Homes. Homes will be allocated through Property Pool Plus.  

Site C is located on Boundary Road and will comprise: 

  • 13 one bedroom apartments 
  • 7 two bedroom apartments 

These apartments will be available for Rent to Buy through Redwing. Redwing is part of The Regenda Group. 

Who is building new homes 

Homes will be built by M&Y Maintenance and Construction. M&Y carries out repairs, maintenance and improvement works on Regenda Homes properties. They also have extensive experience in building new homes across the North West. 

Phase 2 

More than 70 new homes will be built as part of this redevelopment. Planning for the second phase was approved in April 2024. This will bring an additional 43 homes to the area, green spaces and improvements to car parking on Grove Street.

Careers and training opportunities 

As part of this redevelopment, five apprentices will be employed and work placements will be offered across The Regenda Group and with partner organisations. Positive Footprints award-winning Raising Aspirations Programme will be delivered in a local primary school, raising the aspirations of school children. 

Public realm  

Wirral Council successfully bid for £3.2 million from the Future High Streets fund which is earmarked for public realm and highway improvements at the heart of New Ferry. The aim is to make the main shopping areas more attractive for occupiers, visitors and residents with new street furniture, street lighting and landscaping. 

A lasting legacy 

The regeneration of New Ferry will transform the area through new homes, improved high streets and community focussed social value, bringing employment, training and work experience opportunities to the local area.
