Highways officials in Wirral have launched a trial alteration from today (April 23rd) to the traffic light signals at the Spital crossroads to assess its impact on safety and traffic flow at the junction.
An Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system has been installed to support the implementation of Wirral’s first School Street scheme covering Greenleas Primary School.
Drivers caught breaking the speed limit outside Black Horse Hill Junior School on Saughall Massie Road were given the choice of taking a fixed penalty or being questioned about their driving before a special ‘kids court’ made up of a panel of pupils from the school.
22% of schools across the borough are now awarded with a Modeshift accreditation, meaning that Wirral ranks 4th within the list of Local Authorities nationwide (that have more than 100 schools).
In common with many areas in the west of the UK last weekend, Wirral experienced storm-force winds which caused disruption to a range of events, services and communities.
Although parts of the town centre are currently affected by active construction works and there are some delays to traffic flow, particularly at peak times – Birkenhead town centre remains very much open for business, shopping and leisure.
