Speed limits have already been rolled out on more than 2,500 roads
More than twenty areas of the Wirral are expected to see new 20mph speed limits brought in as the local council aims to finish what has been a controversial roll out by the end of 2025. The scheme, which started last year in the borough, has already seen limits changed on more than 2,500 roads so far. The decision to move ahead with getting feedback on the final phases of the scheme was approved unanimously as part of a wider programme in March.
The feedback will then come back to committee as well as any recommendations going forward. The scheme has faced significant opposition with a petition signed by thousands , overwhelmingly negative responses in public feedback surveys, and anger leading to some vandalism. However the council has so far continued with the rollout pointing to the scheme's potential to save lives. Five people were killed on the roads in 2022 and over six years, 27 were killed and 590 seriously injured.
