In light of the risks identified in Paragraph 7.2 of the report and the concerns raised in terms of the consultation and design, accessibility and impacts on other environmental factors to create the Birkenhead Scheme (removing mature trees), the Director of Regeneration and Place be requested to:

1.  Seek an extension of time for delivery on this scheme; and

2.  Consider other design options, taking into consideration the concerns raised with a view to enable a meaningful consultation to take place to include residents and local businesses.
