Charing Cross and Grange Road Active Travel Scheme Phase 2

Wirral Council has received a £2.969 million funding package from the UK Governments Future High Streets Fund. We are proposing to use this funding to make improvements on Grange Road, within the Charing Cross junction and on Grange Road West.

The fund was set up to make high streets and town centres fit for the future and as the area of Grange Road and Charing Cross is a particularly busy part of Birkenhead town centre – this is the area we think will benefit a lot of residents and local business.

The suggested improvements comprised of three schemes designed to provide a more attractive place for people to shop, live, visit or work and to support the regeneration of Birkenhead town centre by providing an improved, better connected and more sustainable experience for all who use this area.

Phase 1 of this engagement asked people to share their thoughts regarding three schemes. A summary of the findings from the phase 1 engagement can be found in the documents section.

Phase 2

The 2^nd and final phase of consultation is to give notice and specific detail of the Traffic Regulation Orders (TRO’s) that will be required to make the proposals effective.

TROs are legal documents that restrict or prohibit the use of the highway network, in line with the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. They help us to manage the highway network for all road users, including pedestrians and they aim to improve road safety and access to facilities.

We are proposing to introduce the following TRO's on Grange Road West and Grange Road:

Grange Road West

• One-Way road
• On street parking restrictions

Grange Road

• Prohibition of driving

Visual representations of the proposed Traffic Regulation Orders can be found in the Documents section, along with the notice of intent as published in the Wirral Globe.

We would like to know whether you support or object to the proposed introduction of TRO's. Please provide your feedback on these proposals through expressions of support or objections by completing the short survey below.
