The Mayor of Liverpool has accepted that the state of the city’s roads has to change in the next 12 months.
Mayor Joanne Anderson said the “problem” with Liverpool’s roads was “really visible” to see across the city after delays to resurfacing projects in previous years. She said that new capital funding would hopefully bring an end to people’s frustration with the city’s network.
The Mayor was addressing members of Liverpool Council ’s Mayoral and Performance select committee and told councillors she too encountered the broken road surface regularly but new funding was made available to tackle the problem. She said: “There has been delays around the programme to resurface roads… every area is a priority.
