Traffic improvements could soon be made in Kew and on the eastern approaches to Southport – and Sefton Council wants to hear what you think.
The proposed Southport Eastern Access Improvements scheme seeks to improve the road and pedestrian network between the town centre and the Southport Road border in Kew.
Improvements would look to ease congestion issues for motorists, while also seeking to revamp cycling and pedestrian infrastructure at the eastern approach to the town.
The areas within the Southport Eastern Access Improvements scheme include:
Kew Roundabout
Southport Road
Foul Lane
Scarisbrick New Road
Norwood Road
Improvements to Southport’s eastern travel routes have been the subject of discussion since the 1960s.
Sefton Council’s Transport Planning team is now working on a business case to make these changes a reality.
Cllr John Fairclough, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Locality Services, said:
“To make any potential changes and improvements we need the vital knowledge and views of those who live near and use these routes every single day.
“We want to make sure any plans will best capture the views of residents, businesses, schools and visitors to Southport. That insight will help us deliver and develop our proposals and subsequent designs.
“Southport is a key cornerstone in the borough’s economic growth plans and an improved streetscene and transport network in the East will contribute massively towards this.”
The main benefits of the proposed scheme would:
Ease congestion on key routes including Scarisbrick New Road
Ease instances of ‘rat running’ around areas such as Norwood Road, Meols Cop Road & Butts Lane
Improve access to Kew Retail Park
Improve walking and cycling links to the town centre.

Cll Fairclough said: “We remain committed to improving our streets and transport network across Sefton to support our Sefton 2030 Vision and address the climate change emergency.
“I would encourage everyone to take part and give us your views.”
