Plans for 20mph zone in Liverpool city centre

Liverpool: There’s some exciting news coming out of Liverpool! The city is planning to roll out a 20mph zone in the city centre. This is part of a bigger plan to make getting around easier and more eco-friendly.

The idea is to encourage folks to hop on public transport, walk, or cycle instead of driving everywhere. It’s all part of a multi-million pound investment to revamp the city. They’re also looking at new bus routes and better parking options.

Liverpool Council is really pushing for this change. They want to make the city more accessible and attractive for everyone. They’ve got some big plans in the works, including a parking strategy to make things clearer for drivers.

Oh, and just a heads up, parking charges are going up this year to help the council raise some much-needed funds. They’re also looking at introducing green bus routes to make buses the go-to option for getting around.

There’s talk of starting work on a new green route for the 10A bus this year, which will connect St Helens to Liverpool. It’s all about making public transport quicker and easier to use.

Cllr Dan Barrington, who’s in charge of transport, mentioned that this strategy is all about creating a better environment for everyone. They want to make areas like Castle Street and London Road more inviting for people and businesses alike.

The council is also keen on getting input from the people of Liverpool. They believe that the success of this plan really depends on what the locals want and need. It’s all about making Liverpool a city that reflects its unique character while improving the way people move around.
