Driving through Liscard earlier I was suprised to see that Lookers Vauxhall dealers has closed. Also Classic Cars of Wirral has moved from Wallasey Village to Oxton.

Anyone what is likely to happen to the two empty sites?

We have been told they are building crap cardboard flats on lookers, I bet the same will happen to the classic site, have they started them on the old parkmeare site yet?

Well they did get the planning permission for the parkmere ones about 5 years ago, wonder why it has taken so long to start them?

I also noticed yesterday that the newsagents next to the parkmere site had its doors open once again, has it reopened or is it under refurbishment?

Vauxhall had a plan to bring the dealership in plant, put the purchaser of the new car up in a local hotel. They would then watch the car come off the assembly line with a bunch of flowers on the back seat. The savings on P.D.I would more than cover the cost. A customer experience and money saving exercise I don't think they would be able to resist.A saving of hundreds of pounds per car, Mmmm.

Lookers have shifted their buisness to the exsisting showrooms in Woodchurch Road and Ellesmere Port, according to the notice in the window.
They have recently had outline planning permission passed for their property in Urmston Road. This is NOT the plot of land where they have just vacated, but the former Tire Services building adjoining the exsisting terraced houses in Urmston Road (opposite the service bays). It's been disused for years.
The planning permission is for four three-bedroomed teraced houses with private gardens and parking. Not a lot of room inside as the front room has the front door and staircase in it.
However, this could just be a ploy to increase the value of the land, as land with planning permission is worth more - and Lookers don't seem to be in the housing market.
