Since 2012 the two projects have enjoyed enterprise zone status, together forming the Mersey Waters Enterprise Zone. ==Design== To regenerate a largely unused series of dock spaces in the area, the main part of the plan may eventually see the creation of of modern office space at the East Float and Vittoria Dock. This is alongside a waterfront hotel bars, restaurants, other leisure facilities & 15,000 apartments which would be housed in a series of tall, modern towers. Three of these towers are designed to achieve fifty storeys. A dedicated development is also proposed at the site of the former Bidston Dock, close to the M53 motorway and the Kingsway road tunnel to Liverpool. This will encompass an additional of retail and leisure facilities.〔 The architectural practice Broadway Malyan〔(Broadway Malyan )〕 have been employed by Peel, and are responsible for the overall design of the development. Broadway Malyan are also responsible for the design of the redevelopment of Mann Island, across the River Mersey, in Liverpool. If achieved, the plan will increase dramatically the amount of business space available in the wider conurbation. Addressing an imbalance that has seen the area develop less office space than other urban centres of a similar profile. It is estimated by the developers that the scheme may lead to the creation of over 27,000 permanent jobs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wirral Waters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
