More traffic wardens will “transform” Liverpool’s active travel ambitions according to a former cabinet member.
Cllr Laura Robertson-Collins made the daring suggestion that further parking enforcement officers were needed across the city in a bid to encourage more people to walk and cycle on a daily basis. The Labour member for Greenbank ward said an alleged “lack” of parking enforcement was hurting the city’s green ambitions and made the controversial call for a further clamp down on errant motorists.
Speaking at Liverpool Council 's climate change and environment select committee, she said: “That is completely undermining active travel and getting people to use public transport and getting people to walk to school in our localities. It’s actively undermining any action we’re trying to take locally with people.
