20mph Speed Limit scheme - Phase 2
The survey has now closed, thank you for your contributions.
All comments from this phase will be reported to Committee in the Autumn and members will have the final say on whether this phase of the scheme proceeds to implementation.
In 2022, the council undertook consultation for 20mph speed limits in 15 areas around Wirral. The results of this were reported to the Environment, Climate Emergency and Transport committee on 30 January 2023, where committee approved the roll out of 20mph speed limits in these areas. Work started in spring of this year and is due to be complete in Autumn 2023.
As part of the council’s commitment to Liverpool City Region’s Vision to Zero Road Safety Strategy, the council is planning to introduce more 20mph speed limits across Wirral.
Between the end of June and end of August 2023, we will be consulting on the next 15 areas.
More information about these areas, including a map, and their consultation periods can be found below.

Residents are invited to share their views on 20mph speed limits in their local area, by taking part in the survey and selecting the area that they would like to comment on. Consultation will take place in phased stages – so different areas will be available to comment on at different times. The feedback collected will be reported to the Council's Environment, Climate Emergency and Transport Committee for review and decision making in the Autumn.
Phase 2 of the 20mph speed limit scheme is funded by the Liverpool City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement Combined Authority Transport Plan, which was approved at the Environment, Climate Emergency and Transport committee meeting on 14 March 2023.
