Controversial cycle lanes that popped up on Queens Road in Southport are set to stay, with a temporary traffic regulation order being extended for a further 12 months.
The town centre road is currently only open to buses and cyclists, thanks to a trial road scheme that began last year. But it has now been revealed the lanes look set to stay for a while longer, after a recommendation by Sefton Council.
The pop-up cycle lanes divided the town, with councillors from the Liberal Democrats and Conservatives claiming the council hadn't evaluated the effect they had on Southport, and conservative councillors claiming it focused on one demographic of people.
