The Black Horse in West Kirby could be turned into a Tesco Express if plans are approved. West Kirby local Steve Harrison said the building being back in use would be inherently positive. On the site becoming a supermarket, and not another pub or restaurant he added: “It’s not ideal, but it’s better than nothing. It would be lovely to have a nice restaurant or pub but nothing ever seems to work.” He said: “It was great when it was a pub but West Kirby isn’t short of a pub.
