Riverside Drive Protest


Thursday 24th October at 3.30pm
At the pelican crossing between Priory Wood and the entrance to Festival Gardens

Liverpool Council has decided to push ahead with plans to construct a dual carriageway along the route of Jericho Lane, Riverside Drive and Sefton Street. LCC has declared a Climate Emergency, but building a road will lead to more car journeys and will generate more carbon emissions. Air pollution will worsen in the area around the road.

This LCC report from 2018 was not presented to the public at consulations in 2019: https://liverpool.greenparty.org.uk/news/2019/09/13/south-liverpool-road-plan/

Liverpool ‘Upper Central’ consultation

1 Comment

Upper Central is a newly branded area of Liverpool, covering 56 acres in the middle of Liverpool city centre – the area is to be the subject of a draft masterplan to create an international standard gateway site to a £2bn flagship regeneration scheme.
Running from Central Station to Liverpool Science Park and Lime Street to Bold Street, Upper Central is seen as key to the future development of the city’s Knowledge Quarter.

ASPIRATIONAL CYCLE MAPPING EVENT

Wednesday 29 May 2019 – 14.00 to 18.30
DoES Liverpool, 1st Floor, The Tapestry, 68-76 Kempston Street, Liverpool L3 8HL

Liverpool City Council cycling and walking officer, Jayne Rodgers, is hoping to develop an Aspirational Cycling Map for the city that ‘maps’ a connected network of routes that local people use to travel around on their bikes. There is already a body of work that has been conducted by Simon O’Brien, the new LCC cycling champion, that identifies a network of routes to connect the greenspaces and highlights some potential low traffic and green corridors. The idea is to overlay Simon’s routes with the existing map data, the corridors identified in the LCWIP propensity to cycle tool exercise and your ideas for connections. 
Map tables will be set out at the event so that people can drop in and tell Jayne all about their ways of getting around and how we can identify appropriate routes that make those ‘missing links’.
