Cllr Julie McManus in front of the Rock Ferry development Wirral Council says it is one-step closer to buying a number of new-build homes which it plans to develop into rental properties for residents most in need of housing. Following the unanimous agreement at the Housing Committee on Wednesday, March 10, the purchase of the units at the Sevenoaks site in Rock Ferry will help the council provide more housing, as well as the need for more social housing and housing with specialist adaptations. Cllr Julie McManus, Chair of the Housing Committee at Wirral Council, said: “Over the last year, we have all really learnt the value of our homes and now even more so it is so important that the most vulnerable of our community have access to a home when they need it the most.
