There have been calls for a review by Conservatives but other parties think it's too soon
Wirral’s roll out of 20mph zones faces a key test as its council’s Conservative group call for a review of the policy.
Other parties are expected to argue that it is too soon for a review as the roll out of the first phase is still taking place and enforcement hasn’t started. According to Liberal Democrat councillor Allan Brame, the roll out is expected to be finished by the end of October with enforcement by the police to follow after that.
In calling for further consultation, he added: “It might be that people think it’s good so crack on. Is it going to achieve what we want it to achieve and are there other measures we could put in place that would have a bigger effect?” Liberal Democrat Cllr Allan Brame said: "We are all in favour of a review but once it has been in operation for a time and just see how successful it is. We are convinced it is going to increase road safety but we won't know for some time. It needs to bed in."
“We want people to feel they can get from A to B in a number of ways. Walking, scooting, cycling or by car if they want to.” Despite the large number of roads included, Cllr Grey said the council is open to review, adding: “This is flexible, it’s not a blanket rollout. It’s not default. If you find this road shouldn’t be done, then we will adapt it accordingly."
