Contractor starts on next phase of Mere Grange

Care village Belong Birkdale is on target for its opening in late 2019, following a topping-out ceremony at the £16m scheme.

The transport organisation has named the successful bidders for its five-year £10m framework, for construction works across its stations estate.

A 28-apartment block replacing The Dell pub and a McDonalds restaurant in Prenton, both of which have attracted significant local opposition, are set to be signed off by the council next week.

Element, the £8m second phase of development at Network Space’s Alchemy Business Park in Knowsley, has been completed by Caddick Construction.

Caddick Construction and developer Redsun have started work on the 125,000 sq ft project at Hooton Park after securing £7m from the North West Evergreen Fund and the Cheshire & Warrington LEP.

Developer Crossfield Exclusive is set to hand over a residential conversion of Birchen House in Birkenhead, a scheme it bought last year after its previous owner entered administration.

The contractor has secured its third job with Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service in St Helens, following its delivery of a similar project at Saughall Massie ahead of schedule.

Supported by planner Mosaic and architect Pozzoni, Belong has secured consent for a care home and apartments at Wirral Waters, the latest in a flurry of projects to come forward at the strategic site.
