Future
In 2009 owners Wirral Borough Council advertised the building for sale or lease, as part of its Strategic Asset Review. The council has invited "expressions of interest from individuals and organisations who can demonstrate that they can secure a sustainable use for this important building."
The council proposals also involved the possible closure of up to eleven libraries, some sports and leisure facilities and the planned sale of the Wirral Transport Museum, the Shore Road Pumping Station museum and the Pacific Road Arts Centre.

And use what they imperfectly control
To dare a future from the taken routes.”
