Wirral, Metropolitan district in Merseyside, England.
The Metropolitan Borough of Wirral extends across 161 square kilometers on the northern part of the Wirral Peninsula between the Mersey and Dee rivers.
The Metropolitan Borough formed in 1974 through the consolidation of multiple districts, including Birkenhead, Wallasey, Bebington, and the urban districts of Hoylake and Wirral.
The district maintains international connections through established partnerships with French municipalities Lorient and Gennevilliers, fostering regular cultural exchanges between communities.
Residents access essential municipal services through the central administration in Wallasey, which coordinates waste management, tax collection, and community development programs.
The district contains Britain's first designated country park, managed by the local council and providing recreational spaces for the community.
