About

Vision Kirkby was born out of frustration at the lack of progress in Kirkby Town Centre. For years we have had hopes raised of a new supermarket and other developments, only for each of them to evaporate as quickly as they were promised.

We thought the St. Modwen development might be different: they returned after previously having their proposals turned away by Knowsley Council in 2005; they were starting with many sites that were ‘spade ready’; they brought in a town centre manager who brought back Christmas decorations that won awards, arranged public events and improved the state of the existing shops.

But even after further demolition, no supermarkets have materialised, and our town has suffered with a half-empty core at its once vibrant heart.

It is time for the people of Kirkby to hold Knowsley Council, developers and investors to account.  It is time for the people of Kirkby to have their voice heard.
