This decision report recommended acceptance of a tender from Cambrianway Ltd and award of a contract for the construction of a series of major public realm and highway improvements to the A554 Tower Road. With the provision of wider pavements to provide high quality facilities for pedestrians and cyclists and reduced carriageway widths, the objective of the scheme is to lower traffic speeds through the area and to create an improved environment for all road users.

The work supports the Wirral Council Plan 2020-25, underpinning the main drivers of sustainable regeneration and addressing the climate emergency through the promotion of green and healthy living.
