Birkenhead Road Active Travel Scheme

We Asked

Wirral Council asked for feedback on proposals to introduce a package of highway measures and environmental improvements along Birkenhead Road, Seacombe Ward via Have Your Say (found here).

You Said

169 people responded to this consultation. 50.9% of respondents to the Have Your Say survey supported the proposals and 49.1% objected to the proposals. Two petitions in objection to the proposals were also received with a combined number of 379 signatures.

We Did

This project was discussed at a meeting of the Economy Regeneration & Housing Committee in March 2023 (link). The committee did not support the proposal for delivery, and as a result the project is now on hold while the council seeks funding to consider other design options.
