A search is under way for a new occupier for the former Est Italian restaurant in West Kirby.

The unit, on Banks Road, has been empty since March, when it closed suddenly, blaming a massive bill for repairs and redecoration from the landlord.

It was better as Hilbre Pub

Hilbre pub was a great community pub it was always very busy late 90s early 2000s

Blueoak ,fuelling up the bulldozer as we speak.

Is £48k a yr rent sustainable there, being at the far end of Banks Rd, esp with other bills on top?

Greedy landlords once again

Be a Turkish barbers soon

Bring back the hilbre!

The landlord needs to fix that roof

Has Nisha seen it #MowgliStreetFood

What West Kirby needs is a banging techno nightclub with performers, gambling, dr-gs and sexy midgets hanging off the rafters Cirque Du Soleil style. The ramp allows for DJs and artists to be ridden in on black goats too. Spice this ghost town up a bit.

Be apartments soon

KFC KFC KFC baby

I doubt it will ever become a pub again as the area is saturated with bars already should turn it into a retro gaming arcade with proper cabinets and a cafe eatery go against the grain instead of turning it into something there is already too much of

Fill it with asylum seekers

Flats more flats or houses pathetic

Terrible shame. It shouldn’t be built as it dwarfs buildings around it and blocks light and removes any privacy from bedrooms. These shouldn’t be steam rolled through just to benefit developers. More consideration required

The last one they did looks great. Means more people can enjoy the view.

Why do people get so up in arms about additional housing being built during a housing crisis? Are they just angry landlords who are annoyed that they have less of a monopoly on house prices? More housing can’t be a bad thing, surely? 🤔

14 car parking spaces?? Where are they going to go. Cause if the council have their way and make you pay to park on the prom it’s adding to congestion on the side streets

They’ve done a good job with the other ones — looks nice in rendering

We’re are the ones in Newton ? Please

Notice how developers write about how their proposals have such wonderful benefits for people and areas …..but really probably don’t give a ……

Yes more affordable housing then!!!

Better than building on the greenbelt

When you do find an affordable place it’s normally builders who buy do up and flip them into unaffordable places

i think it`s a shame...

Bluecoat doing very well full stop Wirral is a fab place to live x Well I would say that as I was born here x I have lived in London and Wales but home is where the heart is a d that's true x I was made other Wirral and born on the Wirral x W K and Hoylake used to be in Cheshire not Merseyside x As a child I always wrote my thank you notes after Christmas It was Wirral Cheshire back then Times they are a changing

Are they affordable to most? Saw the price of the new ones on Dee Lane, disgusting

My Aunty and Uncle lived here in the 80’s, lovely house, so sad 😢

Yes it was.and also Vinny Jones I think..

Why doesn't Wirral Council develop it's own houses and enrich itself/the public. Rather than letting all these private companies build housing that's largely unaffordable to the most, for the sake of a quick buck in planning permission.

Shame lovely house. And only a few years ago had that renovated

As long as every beautiful home is not knocked down ! Well I know that will not happen! Lots of money to be made here on fabulous Wirral! I have seen so much change

8 X the council tax !

Blue oak do very well with planning applications.

Looking at the mock up, looks OK and in keeping. It's 8 dwellings vs 1. No brainer to go ahead, but let's see how residents react....

Crack on 💯

The councils are going to cause havoc and turn these places into no-go desolate areas were more people will move out of, due to not being able to get parked outside their own homes or people blocking their driveways It was bad enough in WK when they were doing the 3/4mile long bench There’s a decline in the population figures already, it will soon become another Blackpool and a bankrupt council without enough people paying their council tax never mind parking charges 😡😡😡😡 Let’s start by paying the councillors less for the little they do👍🤗 we should be able to look into their finances as they are Supposed to be looking after our interests as a community Not Their Own ‼️ We should have access to the accounts of this council and know exactly what they are discussing during the council meetings and what they spend are money on ‼️ 🤔🤔Let’s look at the council leaders salaries, and how many hours input is put in each day in each of these positions, we will then get an hourly rate for each person👍 We then can truly see what they are worth, and how much of an expense they are on the Wirral tax payers If they don’t like it having their money cut to an, acceptable amount then they know what they can do ‼️

I believe that the imposition of public parking charges by a local authority cannot be purely to raise revenue, but there must be public good too. What is the public good here? Maybe West Kirby Today could ask? Thanks.

We should know by now that the council does not care what the local people want. We can show our frustration with them by the vote.

I moved to West Kirby in August last year from a town that had free parking at all times in all car parks. I use the Concourse here 4/5 times per week and pay £29 per month for my gym membership and around £35 per month for parking. You can’t even get free parking on a Sunday. A total rip off

Get them to scrap the 20mph areas as well whilst you are at it.

We had very similar parking charge proposals by the council in 2018, and found combining the campaigns in the affected towns as we did in 2018 really worked ( public meetings and a protest march) we got the then( Labour majority) council to drop it. They must have wasted a fortune pursuing this over recent times (think it’s the 3rd time in just over a decade). Good luck with the campaign !

Safe to say the council is actively against both residents and visitors to the area.

Question to our usually completely invisible West Kirby councillors, only to be seen when there's a ribbon to cut or a free sherry to be had: You state in the petition the following: "The imposition of such charges without considering that impacts is a clear disregard for the community's needs. We deserve well-thought-out solutions that suit everyone's requirements, and most importantly - listen to the taxpayers and residents! " - So what are your views and proposals on solutions? If you gonna blurt, come with alternatives.

This is the first step before introducing residential parking permits….

Signed.
