    One thing about targetting us cyclists is we can get a lot each, it must work out in the high thousands per cyclist per year to provide these facilities.

    Could I have this swapped to a Limo for the winter please ?

    It's just a bit wearing getting so wet.

    The biggest problem that the town centre is up against is internet shopping! The big difference for Tesco and Aldi is they sell food, which isn’t such a big internet success at the moment! Argos isn’t so much a shop as a ‘click and collect’ service and the likes of B&M’s sales strategy (pile high sell cheap) would struggle in town due to the design of the older buildings in the town centre.

    If you think it’s pedestrianisation and pay and display that’s the problem, you need to get out a bit more and visit other towns. All are suffering and it’s because of us changing our shopping habits.

    This sound like one of those ideas that look good on the back of a fag packet.

    The town is run down, and it will be years before there is money available to make more than a few cosmetic changes.

    For once the truth from Sefton Council - they want to send Southport back to 1838 with no cars.

    As usual, they're tearing this town to bits and there's ****** all we can do about it.

Not a virtual dual-carriageway for the districts through-traffic!


    Parking issues, when/if central Lord St becomes traffic-free:

    *How many parking spaces are there between the Monument and the 'Brick? None!

    *How many parking spaces will be lost by clearing through-traffic out of that zone? None!

    *How many visitors will shun the town because no Lord St parking spaces have been lost? None!

    it must be lovely living in your secure padded cell....

    It is a very curious insistence that cars have been excluded! Which Southport are you from?
