Call for 'total review' of city centre roads revamp after Christmas travel chaos

There are calls for a 'total review' of the redesign of Liverpool city centre roads after chaotic scenes over the festive period.

The run up to Christmas saw scenes of gridlock on roads around the city centre, with huge queues of traffic in key areas and drivers waiting hours to get in and out of car parks. Police were forced to intervene to try and help direct traffic around The Strand, Scotland Road, Islington, Hunter Street and Brownlow Hill as well as other areas.

Some frustrated motorists even called for a "revolution" after being stuck in Mount Pleasant car parks for several hours. While it is worth pointing out that rail strikes before Christmas will have added to the problems, Liverpool Council is said to be aware of the issues on the roads in the city centre.
