00:00Across the Liverpool city region, a series of major development stories are continuing to reshape towns and communities,
00:07with housing, infrastructure and regeneration programmes all moving forward at different stages.
00:12We begin in Wirral, where a major £5 billion carbon capture proposal, known as Peak Cluster, is under consideration,
00:21involving the transport of emissions from industrial sites in the Peak District to storage facilities beneath the Irish Sea,
00:28via infrastructure routes that could pass through parts of the borough.
00:31The plans have prompted a strong local response, with Metro Mayor Steve Rotherham,
00:35noting the need for careful consideration as the project moves through national infrastructure processes,
00:40while campaigners and some councillors have raised concerns about environmental and safety impacts.
00:45Campaigners continue to argue that any final decision must take into account community impact,
00:51as well as wider environmental targets.
00:53Meanwhile in Sefton, work has begun on two large extra care housing developments,
00:58led by Housing Association Tourists, delivering more than 270 apartments across Southport and Magul,
01:04for older people and those requiring additional support.
01:08The £94 million programme includes new independent living apartments,
01:12shared ownership options and modern facilities,
01:15such as communal spaces and landscape gardens and on-site services,
01:18with completion expected in the coming years.
01:20developers say modern construction methods are being used to speed up delivery
01:24and improve energy efficiency across both sites.
01:27In Kirby, approval has been granted in principle to convert the historic former Conservative Club at Waverley House
01:33into a single residential dwelling, following concerns about its long-term condition and vacancy.
01:39The decision reflects the Council's view that bringing the listed building back into use
01:44could support its preservation.
01:46Officials note any future proposals would need to carefully balance heritage protection
01:51with viable residential use.
01:53Across Bootle and Litherland, Council teams continue to tackle persistent fly-tipping in alleyways
01:58and residential streets, with waste ranging from household furniture
02:02to electrical appliances and other discarded materials.
02:05Enforcement officers say the issue places significant pressure on services,
02:09with repeated clearance work often required in the same locations shortly after they've been cleared.
02:14Council teams say education, enforcement and community engagement remain key
02:18to reducing repeat incidents across the borough.
02:21In heighten, Noseley Council is moving forward with wider regeneration plans,
02:25including proposals to relocate the local library into a new community hub on Cavendish Walk
02:31as part of a broader town centre redevelopment programme.
02:34The wider scheme also includes plans for a major mixed-use development,
02:38alongside improved transport links, new public spaces and long-term investment
02:43intended to support economic growth in the area.
02:46Further stages of the regeneration programme are expected to unfold
02:50over the coming years, subject to planning approvals.
02:52Further updates are expected as each scheme progresses through planning and delivery stages.
