One of Liverpool’s busiest roads will be closed to cars next week as the city celebrates World Car Free Day.
The Strand, which runs along the city’s historic waterfront, is set to be transformed into a stage for a programme of free healthy activities on Thursday, September 22, from keep fit classes to “a bungee run” and live entertainment. Closed between 10am and 4pm in both directions, from Chapel Street to James Street - outside the Three Graces - the major highway will also host free live music from several LIMF Academy artists.
The closure, which comes in the week a £2 cap is placed on all bus journeys by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, is part of a wider active travel campaign by Liverpool City Council to encourage motorists to think twice about using their car for journeys.
