One of Merseyside's 'most important roads' where people want to leave

People living on one of Merseyside's most important roads have said they want to move due to pollution and noise levels.

Church Road/A5036 in Litherland serves as the main artery that feeds Liverpool's ports. The docks have been Liverpool's gateway to the world and the bedrock on which it has prospered.

Once maritime commerce was centered in heart of the city but as the ships got bigger, the port had to move further to the north. Congestion on the A5036 has been a long-standing problem but the expansion of the Port of Liverpool has led to increasing numbers of freight vehicles on the route, and people the ECHO spoke to think the road is struggling to cope.
