Fencing in Birkenhead: your questions answered

Do I need permission for a new front fence in Oxton?

Conservation area rules may apply to front boundaries. Check with Wirral Council before starting.

Can I fix a new fence to a sandstone wall on the Wirral?

Sometimes, if the wall is sound. Older sandstone walls can be soft, so contractors often set posts just inside the wall rather than drilling into it.
