Case Study
Twickenham Drive, Leasowe
Delivering Quality, Value and Community Impact
A Development That Reflects Real Community Needs
At Wellcare Construction, we are proud to help shape thriving, sustainable communities across the North West. Our work at Twickenham Drive in Leasowe, Wirral reflects our commitment to building high‑quality homes, delivering social value, and working collaboratively with partners to achieve exceptional results.
Working with Prima Group and Wirral Council, we are transforming two long‑vacant brownfield sites into a modern, energy‑efficient neighbourhood of 30 affordable homes, designed around the needs of local people and built to the highest standards of safety and construction quality.
The Twickenham Drive scheme delivers a well‑balanced mix of affordable homes:
- 20 two‑bedroom houses
- 10 two‑bedroom bungalows, including 2 fully accessible wheelchair‑adapted units
This mix responds directly to the demand for smaller, more efficient homes in Leasowe, helping families, couples and residents with mobility needs to access high‑quality accommodation in their community.

Wellcare was selected following a rigorous Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT) process, reflecting our strong balance of value, experience and quality. Across the development we are delivering:
- Timber‑frame construction with durable, attractive brick façades
- Smart Switchee heating controls to help residents manage energy use

- 100% in‑curtilage parking
- High‑quality windows, doors and finishes aligned with Prima's enhanced employer requirements
Our focus is on long‑term performance, low‑carbon living and providing homes that offer comfort, security and low running costs.
Sustainability at the Heart of Delivery
Environmental responsibility is incorporated throughout the scheme. Key features include:
- Ecological enhancements such as new trees and wildlife nesting boxes
- Retention of existing hedgerows where possible
- A robust, future‑proof flood‑mitigation strategy
- Energy‑efficient construction that exceeds regulatory baselines
We are committed to building homes that support a greener future for the Leasowe community.
Supporting Local Jobs, Skills and Supply Chains
As part of our social value commitments, we prioritise local employment opportunities, apprenticeships and regional supply chain partners throughout the programme.
Our teams are embedded in the community during delivery, ensuring clear communication with residents and minimising disruption at every stage.
Strong Partnership Working
This project is the result of close collaboration with:
- Prima Group – Client and delivery partner
- Wirral Council – Landowner
- Markhams – Employer's Agent and Principal Designer
- Halsall Lloyd Partnership – Architects

Together, we are delivering a scheme that meets local housing needs, strengthens the area's infrastructure, and supports long‑term regeneration.
Building for the Future of Leasowe
When completed, Twickenham Drive will provide much‑needed affordable homes, revitalise dormant land, and create a safe, welcoming and modern neighbourhood for residents.
For Wellcare Construction, it is another example of how we deliver quality, value and community benefit on every project we undertake.
