Maybe this is the improvements we've all been waiting for in West Kirby!!! Promenade refurbishment A major refurbishment of some of Wirral's best-loved stretches of promenade gets underway this month. Three kilometres of coastline, stretching from West Kirby to Hoylake, is in line for a £85,000 facelift. Promenade railings and shelters along South Parade, North Parade and Meols Parade have been earmarked for upgrading, with work expected to start within the month. The scheme is being funded as part of the Council's annual coastal maintenance programme. It has been prioritised and scheduled for completion in time for The Open Championship at Royal Liverpool this summer. The railings along South Parade in West Kirby endure some of the most extreme forces of nature being both abraded by sand and corroded by saltwater. They are now due to be coated in a new specialist hardwearing marine paint. A total of six shelters in the area will be given a complete overhaul - with repainting, re-roofing, and new panels fitted to shelters where needed. Work is also being done to reduce the amount of windblown sand along the promenade, with replacements to mesh panels being put in place, preventing sand from getting on to the road.
