A controversial one-way road scheme in Liverpool 8 is not yet expected to be permanently adopted after a community backlash against the plans.
Representatives and activists around Kingsley Road expressed their concern last month at the permanent adoption of a proposed new road layout following an almost year- long trial. During a meeting of Liverpool Council’s highways and public spaces representations committee, Cllr Lucille Harvey told members “public trust had been damaged” over how the authority had handled the scheme.
Now, following a site visit by committee members, it has been recommended the existing trial continues to allow for further engagement with Kingsley Road residents and a permanent solution can be worked out. Officers and councillors visited the scheme last week to assess its viability.
