This report considers objections and comments of support submitted during the statutory traffic regulation order consultation period for Phase 2 of the 20mph speed limit programme which consists of 15 proposed areas.

In view of the number of objections received to Phase 2 following the implementation of Phase 1 the Committee may wish to consider alternatives to proceeding directly with Phase 2, so two possible options are recommended for consideration.

One of the key themes contained within the Wirral 2021-26 Plan is to provide safe and pleasant communities. By generally aspiring to make roads safer for cyclists, pedestrians and other road users, this scheme will contribute to the key priorities set out within the current plan.

This proposal affects the following Council Wards; Birkenhead & Tranmere, Prenton, Seacombe, Bidston & St James, New Brighton, Liscard, Rock Ferry, Clatterbridge, Bebington, Heswall, Claughton, Leasowe & Moreton East, Hoylake & Meols, Pensby & Thingwall, Greasby, Frankby & Irby, Upton, Moreton West & Saughall Massie.
