Liverpool needs more traffic wardens “urgently” to clear its disabled parking bay backlog and stop “subsidising the night time economy” a comprehensive report has determined.
A series of findings have been compiled by the city council ’s parking task and finish group as it seeks to change the delivery of services across Liverpool. The report, which will go before members of the neighbourhoods select committee next week, said changes are required to “urgently tackle the abuse of current parking regulations in many areas” including school gates and district centres.
Amending the current parking provision across the city would better support the council’s commitment to the climate emergency and “help a modal shift from private car use”, it said. The group that compiled the report was established in March in response to “regularly expressed concerns regarding parking issues negatively affecting residents and neighbourhoods”.
