New 20mph zones will be introduced across Wirral on more than 1,700 roads after councillors from all parties voted to support the move.
The zones will reduce the speed limits in many built up and residential areas and were praised by councillors who said it would make roads safer and save lives.
This was despite opposition from members of the public to every proposal, though it was raised the numbers against the plans in a council consultation were small compared to the number of people affected.
