ACTIVE TRAVEL FUND TRANCHE 2: A554 BAYSWATER ROAD/HARRISON DRIVE, WALLASEY - PROPOSED MANDATORY CYCLE LANE AND LEASOWE ROAD - REMOVAL OF SCHEME FROM PROGRAMME
This report considers the objections and expressions of support received following consultation regarding the proposed mandatory cycle link alongA554 Bayswater Road/Harrison Drive, Wallasey Ward. This scheme has been developed as part of Tranche 2 of the Department for Transport’s (DfT) Active Travel Fund (ATF). In accordance with the Council’s constitution consideration of the approval of the implementation of the scheme is a matter for this Committee given that in excess of 14 objections have been received in response to the public consultation on the scheme.
The scheme also seeks approval for the removal of the Leasowe Road scheme in the Leasowe and Moreton East ward, and the Moreton West and Saughall Massie ward from the Tranche 2 programme.
Decision type: Key
Decision status: For Determination
Notice of proposed decision first published: 12/10/2022
This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.
Reason for urgency:
The decision for Bayswater Road cannot be delayed as the funding for the scheme, via DfT Active Travel Tranche 2, expires March 2023 and therefore a further delay would risk scheme delivery (if approved) within the required timescale.
Decision due: 20 Oct 2022 by Environment, Climate Emergency and Transport Committee
Lead director: Director of Neighbourhood Services
