ePetition details
Save Pacific Road Arts Centre
We the undersigned petition the council to Retain Pacific Road Arts Centre as a community asset. We believe that the centre was established for the benefit of the people of Birkenhead and the wider Wirral area using EU objective one funds and on this basis it should be a mandatory condition of the tender process for the Wirral Transport Museum and Tramway that the Arts Centre is retained. We call upon the council and it officers to make this a priority in deciding on any successful bid.
There is already wide support for Pacific Road being maintained as an Arts and music venue including a Facebook group with 1100 members and a number of high profile supporters
This ePetition ran from 06/01/2012 to 16/02/2012 and has now finished.

Council response
Cabinet agreed at their meeting of 22 September 2011 to
re-market Pacific Road, the Transport Museum and Tramway without a
requirement for the continued operation of the Theatre. That
process is now complete and will be reported to Cabinet setting out
options for the future of these assets.
The e-petition will be included in the report for members'
consideration.
