About Us

NewHeartlands was established in 2003 and the programme is expected to last for 10 to 15 years. We cover around 130,000 properties in some of Merseyside's most disadvantaged communities across Liverpool, Sefton and Wirral.

Liverpool has several Zones Of Opportunity (ZOOs). They are: City Centre North, City Centre South, Wavertree and Stanley Park. In Sefton, development is split into five neighbourhoods, Queens/Bedford, Klondyke, Linacre, Peel/Knowsley and Seaforth & Waterloo. Wirral is divided into five main areas, Birkenhead, Tranmere, Rock Ferry, Seacombe & Egremont.

NewHeartlands will deliver major investment and regeneration to Merseyside, which is estimated to reach £2.85billion over the lifetime of the programme.

NewHeartlands' vision is to ensure communities and neighbourhoods are transformed to meet the needs of local people. The programme will support economic growth, combat areas of decline, encourage a sense of community and create new opportunities for residents.
