Over 1,700 roads could be made 20mph under new plan

Plans for more than a dozen 20mph zones across Wirral could affect more than 1,700 roads.

The plans for 15 zones are due to be considered by Wirral Council’s environment and transport committee on January 30 and are part one of a wider scheme for 52 zones.

Wirral Council hopes the introduction of the speed limits on roads in the borough will help perception of improved road safety for all users.
