Yes, there are private company plans to erect new data centres within the Liverpool City Region, including the Wirral. Liverpool City Region Data Centres (LCRDC), a company founded by Matt Wilson and part of Baltic Broadband, is actively expanding its network of small-scale data centres across Liverpool, Sefton, Knowsley, St Helens, Halton, and the Wirral. This expansion includes multiple micro and edge data centres designed to support 5G applications, media streaming, driverless cars, drone deliveries, and the Internet of Things by placing infrastructure deep within communities.
Specifically, LCRDC has launched several facilities, including the Liverpool City Queen’s Data Centre in the Baltic Triangle , the Liverpool One Micro Data Centre in the city centre , and the Liverpool City Castle Micro Data Centre located in the former moat of Liverpool Castle. Another micro data centre is planned near Crosby, and a new facility is under construction at the Wallasey Water Tower, which is expected to launch in Q4 2025. These developments are part of a broader strategy to provide edge and micro colocation services across the region, including the Wirral.
Additionally, the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority has been working on initiatives like the LCR Connect network to improve digital connectivity, which supports the growth of such infrastructure. While the region is seeing significant private investment in data centres, the expansion is driven by both private enterprise and public-private partnerships aimed at enhancing the region’s digital infrastructure
