People are being given more time to share their views on plans to create a ‘Southport Liveable Neighbourhood’ scheme.
The scheme aims to reduce traffic and increase cycling and walking in a large part of Southport between Lord Street and Cemetery Road.
Sefton Council and the charity Sustrans say the plans do not include any pedestrianisation of Shakespeare Street.
An open public engagement session will also be held at the Salvation Army Centre on Shakespeare Street, Southport from 4pm on Tuesday, November 30th.
While Covid restrictions are relaxed, organisers are still conscious many might be uncomfortable meeting in a busy space and are encouraging people to register their attendance via Eventbrite:
People are welcome to turn up on the day itself but may face a short wait if it is very busy inside.
A consultation on the Southport Liveable Neighbourhood scheme is being extended until mid December in order to continue ongoing engagement and discussion with the community.
Numerous ideas and suggestions have been put forward as part of the proposed scheme, which is part of Sefton Council’s ongoing work to create low traffic communities.
The Southport Liveable Neighbourhoods Scheme was put forward earlier this year in partnership with transport charity Sustrans, in order to meet national, regional and local policies to encourage walking and cycling for short journeys, and help address Climate change, air quality, safety and the impact of traffic noise and congestion in our neighbourhoods.
The scheme is also intended to support safer walking and cycling to school for young people.
Engagement sessions, leaflet drops and online surveys have so far been held to best capture the thoughts and input of the community where the Liveable Neighbourhoods project is proposed and Sefton Council has repeatedly reaffirmed its desire to work collaboratively with residents and businesses.
In order to continue this collaboration, Sefton Council has extended the Southport Liveable Neighbourhoods consultation deadline until Sunday, December 19th.
Cllr John Fairclough, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Locality Services, said:
“These proposals are completely a collaborative process, where we want to work with and listen to the local community to co-design improvements to our neighbourhoods.
“That is why we have extended our in-depth consultation process, further allowing for an open forum for the whole community to get involved in, regardless of their views on the environment, transport and travel.
“We want as many people as possible to get involved in the process and there are lots of way for people to get involved. We will be writing to all households and businesses within this area to encourage continued engagement in this important conversation.
“We are working closely with Sustrans to ensure that we are seeking to engage the whole community in the Liveable Neighbourhoods; from school children to adults of all ages and business owners”
