Liscard Together
Town centre partnership
Welcome
It is so inspiring to chair such a proactive and ambitious town centre partnership. I have been deeply impressed by the dedication of all those involved, the time that each representative gives on a voluntary basis and their focus on improving Liscard town centre together.
This is an exciting time for Liscard and an opportunity to build rapidly on the great partnership work achieved so far and I look forward to meeting more local communities and business representatives to get involved in helping to tackle the challenges the town centre faces and develop solutions to make Liscard a better town centre during the day and evening.​

The Partnership
It has been widely recognised that over a number of years that Liscard had not fulfilled its potential.
In 2022 the High Streets Task Force provided support to Liscard and recommended establishing a town partnership to drive change within Liscard town centre. Following this, Wirral Council sought to bring together the town’s key stakeholders at a workshop on 28th February 2023 to explore the appetite for forming a town centre partnership.
This workshop was the starting point to the establishment of a new town centre regeneration process and town centre partnership for Liscard, beginning to coalesce thinking around an improved future for Liscard and an initial ‘road map’ highlighting the key actions required to turn things around.
Since then, local traders, businesses and residents have come together with Wirral Council, Community and Voluntary Sector groups and organisations, Wirral Chamber of Commerce, Magenta Living, Merseyside Police, Wirral Metropolitan College and other stakeholders to create a new Partnership for change, called Liscard Together.
The Liscard Together Mission is to:
Work together to create a welcoming inclusive Liscard town centre that is vibrant, safe and greener. It inspires people and businesses to flourish and unlocks the potential of Liscard for all.
Liscard Together Partnership brings together the town’s key stakeholders in a single partnership to tackle the issues that the town centre faces, focused on revitalising and making the town centre a better place for everyone.
The key aim of the Partnership is to encourage all Liscard businesses, organisations and residents to get involved and work together for the common good of the town and deliver the towns vision.
Vision for Liscard town Centre is that it is more diverse, more people-focused, more social and more attractive
Our Town
Much to be proud of
The Partnership was keen to recognise that the town has many things going for it and its many unique selling points (USP) to build on, going forward.
Gaps in our offer
However, there are gaps in the offer and it wasidentified that the town has a low value retail offer,limited evening economy and very little for young orolder people to do in the town.
