Councillors disagreed whether funding for cycle lanes across Wirral was “free money” as councillors approved several schemes during a meeting.
A cycle lane in Wallasey will now be reinforced in order to protect cyclists according to councillors who voted the scheme through.
The cycle lane, on Bayswater Road, will be turned from a “voluntary” into a “mandatory” cycle lane in order “enhance the existing cycle lane” using wand orca barriers to separate cyclists from traffic.
