£16m to be spent to create 12 walking and cycling schemes across Merseyside

Liverpool City Region Sefton Halton Knowsley Wirral

Millions of pounds are to be spent creating safe, easy-to-use active travel routes throughout the Liverpool City Region.

A total of £16m is to be invested into 12 walking and cycling schemes across Liverpool, Sefton, Knowsley, Wirral, Halton and St Helens. The cash was secured through the government’s active travel fund and is three times more than the region’s indicative allowance.

Among the projects earmarked for upgrade include the installation of a permanent cycle lane on West Derby Road in Liverpool, improvements to the Crosby Pedestrian Coastal Park, Widnes town centre and a route connecting Lea Green and Whiston Hospital. Further funding has also been secured for enhancements on Conway Street in Birkenhead.
