Much delayed roadworks that have frustrated residents and businesses alike are scheduled to finally complete ahead of their latest deadline.
After months of anguish and delays, Liverpool Council expects maintenance work on County Road to be finalised before the end of April - weeks before it had been anticipated. This will bring an end to a saga that has involved contractors going bust and millions of pounds spent.
In a tweet, the local authority said the scheme is “now scheduled to complete by mid-April” when contractors will move onto work on Walton Lane. That programme will also complete at least a month ahead of schedule, by the end of April, having being due for finalisation in June.
