It added that it will "provide a blueprint for making the transport network safer, more integrated, more attractive, sustainable and accessible to all".

Cllr Liam Robinson, transport portfolio holder for the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, said: "The upcoming Local Transport Plan will play a huge part in shaping how we take our city region transport network forward in the coming years.

"This will affect all city region residents, so we’re keen to make sure we get as many views on the draft plan as possible.

"Please gives us your thoughts via email so we can make sure the plan works towards making an integrated, sustainable and accessible network and achieve Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram’s aims of a London-style transport system for our city region."

The consultation begins will run until Sunday, July 31. To take part in the consultation, residents can email transportpolicy@liverpoolcityregion-ca.gov.uk with their comments.
