    As part of a competitive bidding process co-ordinated through the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA), Sefton Council have been awarded £310,859 of grant funding to develop Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure (LCWIP) network plans and designs and support infrastructure usage with behaviour change activities.

    The Council has also secured £100,000 of grant funding to develop a pilot for a Social prescribing bid for Sefton and St Helens.

    The funding has come from the Department for Transport, Local Authority Capability Fund in support of ‘Gear Change’, the Governments Cycling and Walking Plan published in July 2020

    Due to the value of the grant funding, authority to accept the funding is required from Cabinet Member Locality Services.

    Presumably the photograph of Hoghton Street illustrates much of the reason why Rueters is closing at the end of this month - no parking spaces.

    Not so....Reuters recently posted on Facebook, that they were closing due to the current poor economic climate. I.e. that people are not splurging on eating out/nights out, due to feeling the dual squeeze of high fuel prices along with BREXIT-induced price rises in the shops.

    Nearly half a million quid should buy a few litres of paint, pay a few councillors to decide road markings and street furniture and afford a few council man hours to paint a few lines , phh it will go nowhere.

    Yes it is a deserted waste of road, time and money from London St to Hesketh Park, one of the Main thoroughfares into the Town Centre which now cannot be used by visitors or residents. One good thing will come out of all this it will be the perfect example to other Towns of how to close businesses and listen and act on one eyed information given by Suspender wearing Transvestites and other shambolic groups who have the brains of woodlice to call it PROGRESS. Progress is moving forward this is GRIDLOCK a bit of a difference.

    Paint isn’t infrastructure. Physical segregation to national standards is the only solution. The council is not allowed to do a half-hearted job.

    Not much of a thoroughfare for traffic - because it leads to Chapel St, which is pedestrianised. Anyway, what's wrong with driving in via Albert Rd/Lord St?

    When you get to Chapel Street you can go left, plus what about those who come in via Manchester Road, Kensington Road, Mornington Road etc?

    The whole point about the pedestrianisation of Chapel Street was that it killed a major through road artery and the cycle lanes in Queen's Road and Hoghton Street have exacerbated the effect.

    So why is The Office continuing to prove so successful under exactly the same circumstances?

    Furthermore, Brexit hasn't induced price rises in the shops - it's mainly down to the war in Ukraine hitting vital supplies, including energy, to us, the EU and other parts of the world from that country and Russia.

    The cycle lanes on Queens Road aren’t a problem in themselves, the problem arises because the Council has decided not allow access to Queens Road from either Manchester Road or Park Crescent, but still allow access from the side roads.
    By allowing access to Queens Road from the side roads is actually more dangerous for cyclists because traffic has to drive right up to the white line of the junction in order to see what’s coming along the main road. Added to that, vehicles that have a need to drive along Queens road, be it to access a residential property or to make a delivery, have to drive further in order to be access Queens Road from a side road, and that alone increases pollution.
    The problem though, is trying to get the Councillor’s who make these decisions to use some common sense and listen to the concerns of the residents and the road users (including cyclists) who have a vested interest in the area.

    The fact remains, that the less traffic on a road (e.g. Queens Rd) the more likely people will be to take a bike into town via that road.......Remember the big lockdown, when traffic was virtually zero everywhere? What happened? People descended on bike shops in their droves - and went cycling on-road with little fear of a knockoff!

    Your delusional fantasies continue unabated - the impact on other vital issues is far greater than the occasional cyclist having a road all to themselves.

    I came down Mornington Road to the junction with Hoghton Street one day recently at around 3-10pm and there were no cyclists using the lanes nor, believe it or not, any vehicles of any type as far as the eye could see.

    Not good for the town centre's business and commercial success in difficult times.

    But so long as you're happy, you won't give the proverbial.
