An old radar post beyond the bird sanctuary at the mouth of the River Mersey is to be replaced with an observation platform and visitors centre. A wide
deck and access ramp are cantilevered out over the foreshore and balanced by a steel-framed mast.
The composition balances on the old foundations of the original tower. Disabled access is provided by golf carts powered from photovoltaic collectors.
