00:00Wirral Council is reviewing the future of two historic town halls, a report has revealed.
00:06Wallasey and Birkenhead town halls could be sold, though no decision has been made.
00:11The council said keeping both buildings would cost around £35 million over the next 50 years,
00:17including major repairs and borrowing costs.
00:21Wallasey is currently open, while Birkenhead remains closed.

00:30Any recommendation to sell would come to future committee meetings.
00:34The report said assessing both buildings together ensures informed decisions.
00:40Both are listed and require significant financial investment.
