Southport says No Facebook group gaining momentum regarding road closures

A Facebook group page protesting against the Councils proposed plans to create a "liveable neighbourhood" is gaining members rapidly.

The affected area is the Roads and Streets surrounded by Eastbank Street,Scarisbrick New Road,Ash Street,Cemetery Road,Upper Aughton Road,Aughton Road, Lord Street West and Lord Street.

The idea is to force vehicles off residential streets and onto A and B roads.

Everyone will still be able to get to any address in the area in a car or other vehicle, but they may have to travel slightly further than before.

According to the Council "Liveable Neighbourhoods reduce pollution by taking away the traffic which use the streets as a cut through."

The Council have done a letter drop and online survey only 14% of people responded.
