Proposals for implementing further 20 mph speed limits in Wirral are entering a final stage.

Since the Council’s Environment, Climate Emergency and Transport Committee agreed the principle of bringing in lower speed limits on residential roads, around schools and on other busy routes in 2021, a total of 30 areas have 20mph speed limits.

Consultation on phases 3 and 4 which propose further 20 mph speed limits are now underway with residents in the areas affected being asked to share their views before consideration is given to their introduction in particular neighbourhoods.

Cllr Liz Grey, Chair of the Environment, Climate Emergency and Transport Committee, said: 

We believe that local residents are best placed to comment on the proposals that affect where they live and travel to. They can comment on where the best places to put the signs are, where the speed limit should start and stop and if any roads that aren’t earmarked to be 20mph in the plans should be.

They can also set out whether or not they agree with the introduction of 20 mph speed limits on particular roads.

More information and the survey for residents to complete can be found on the council's Have Your Say website. 

There is a map which tells people which area they might be in and the table below gives the dates of when the survey for that area will be open and when the consultation closes for that area.
