**UPDATE MORE SLOTS HAVE BEEN MADE AVAILABLE**

After yesterdays morning tweet by sustrans and reporting here on Qlocal the 'Have your Say' event for Tuesday October 19th was quickly booked up.

The event was split into 10 min slots from 15:30 to 19:30 but by 6pm there were only six slots left.

Many people have reported on social media that they were too late to get a slot where clearly demand is exceeding supply.

Qlocal have asked Sefton Council whether this one day 'Have your Say' event will be expanded.

Sustrans tweet yesterday:

Southport residents: we need your feedback!

Join us for a brew and maybe even a slice of cake in return for your views on Low Traffic Neighbourhoods.

Tuesday 19th October, 15:30 - 19:30
Southport Salvation Army

Those fortunate to get a slot should attend at the Salvation Army, 65 Shakespeare Street on Tuesday October 19th at their allotted time.

Be careful if attending, the local Tories are organising an angry mob of swivel eyed loons to storm the drop in session.

What are you going to be when you grow up?

Will the online responses to the Liveable Neighbourhood questionnaire be made available for viewing? I attended the online video sessions and at no time was I aware of any expressed desire for a full or partial closure of Portland Street. I fear this is a social experiment and a more nuanced attempt than the last one to turn this busy and needed thoroughfare into an unwanted and un-needed pedestrian/cycle route only

It seems that relevant businesses that need passing traffic to be sustainable have not been adequately consulted and such matters as courier deliveries to residential addresses will become a significant concern

The use of Sustrans to host the on-line video consultations and convoluted log-in procedure to attend the meeting on October 19th may suggest to many an attempt to smuggle the whole concept past the public. At the very least an easily accessible public presentation of the detailed plans should have been considered at, say, the Atkinson or some other local venue for an extended period

Finally, do we have any idea of the costs to ratepayers of this scheme?
