One Merseyside town centre could be the subject to several drastic alterations which would see how people travel around the town change.
Sefton Council is looking to redesign the layout of Southport town centre with the key change recommending lowering the speed limit on Eastbank Street from 30mph to 20mph. In a report published by the council, a number of changes to the dynamic of the town centre were laid out ahead of the cabinet meeting on Thursday, September 1.
The report has proposed that the pavement becomes wider and the speed limit is lowered along the entire length of Eastbank Street due to the road being a main gateway into the town. Another key change would see Market Street pedestrianised following the success of Southport Market since it reopened last year with an emphasis on serving food and drink.
