The Councils blurb is ...

We have lots of projects and schemes coming up around transport and travel that we would like to ask you about.  It is important that we can get your views to help shape what we do. We would like to get the views of everyone who lives, works or visits Sefton.

Transport and travel is essential for our lives and for our local economy, but it also contributes to carbon emissions, and changing the way we move around will help us to meet local and national carbon reduction targets.  Walking and cycling is good for our wellbeing and our health so we want to make it easier for people to do so.  Our 2030 Vision for Sefton is a confident and connected borough. Here are some key parts of the vision that are important to your streets and roads:

  • The borough is accessible to everyone
  • There are many walking and cycling routes
  • Low pollution and better air quality
  • Sefton is recognised for its commitment to sustainability
  • We live healthy happy lives
  • We know our neighbours
  • We enjoy shopping on vibrant high streets
