Lift and re-lay block paving in Heswall: the local picture
Homes in Heswall include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.
