Major plans to transform an area of Wirral that was destroyed in a huge explosion have now been given the go ahead.
The proposal, which will build 34 apartments, is aimed at transforming the former site of the Homes in Style store in New Ferry as well as nearby buildings destroyed in the blast six years ago.
The explosion, which took place on March 25, 2017, damaged 63 buildings in the surrounding area and injured 81. Six years later, the town is still struggling to recover and a number of shops have closed.
