Moreton residents asked for views on a new train station

Millhouse Lane

In June, Councillor Colin Baldwin wrote to almost 3,000 residents in Moreton. It's part of the work by Colin, Gary Bennett and Vida Wilson to keep in touch with residents on local issues, all year round and not just at election time.

Among the issues in this latest survey is the long-discussed plan for a new railway station between Moreton and Meols. 

Located at the top of Millhouse Lane and next to Tern Way and the Arrowe Brook, the station would serve a wide area.  

​​​From the responses we've received so far, most people support the idea of a new station between Moreton and Meols or would like to know more.

The idea isn't new - it was first proposed in the late 1990s. Merseytravel even bought the land needed for a new station.

Former Councillor Chris Blakeley raised the issue again with Merseytravel in the late 2000's. They agreed it was viable.

To encourage as many people as possible to use the new station, Merseytravel asked Wirral Council to agree to install a footbridge over the Arrowe Brook, near the railway.  

And that's when plans stalled. 

The Council said they couldn't afford to install the bridge. 

Then, the Metro Mayor was elected and his plans didn't include a new station for our area. 

Instead, a derelict station at Baltic in Liverpool would re-open, costing £100m. Three new stations were also announced for Daresbury (Halton); Carr Mill (St Helens) and Woodchurch.

If a clear majority of people who take part in our current survey support a new station, we'll then meet with a member of the City Region's Transport Committee (which took over from Merseytravel) to find the next steps.
