Wirral 20mph.

Although I can see the reasoning, particularly in shopping and school areas, the congestion is going to be paramount. It seems madness.
As we know , many travel and work in Liverpool, and I can't imagine what the hold up at the tunnels will be in a morning.
Buses will have to have their timetables changed, mums and dads travelling by bus will have to leave earlier in a morning, thus impacting on their children being dropped off earlier at school. Meeting the children after school time, will mean have to leave work that bit earlier, which will impact on hours of work and pay for those who need it more than most, and companies that rely on working hourse being fulfilled.
Trucks will be rolling backwards near enough when on inclines, more petrol will be used by sitting in queues and more pollution emitted from standing vehicles.
Why oh why meddle, when things work well ? It didn't work in Wales, did it ?

Regenerating Birkenhead
Excoriator
4th Aug 2024 1:51pm
I hesitate to suggest this for fear some brainless councillor takes it up, but here goes:
The Birkenhead Internationai Regeneration Development (BIRD) involves demolition of every thing between Conway Street, Park Road North and Laird Street and the docks, and the construction of a much needed Birkenhead International Airport.
The site would allow a 3,000 metre runway - nearly half as long again as Liverpool's one - and the three or four underground stations are already there to serve the terminal buildings that would undoubtedly spring up to handle the throng of passengers. Birkenhead park would be converted into a massive multi storey car park. The site thus brilliantly links Road, Rail, Air and Sea! A spaceport added on Bidston Moss would add an additional link to this hub,
The regenerative effects of airports are well know, They bring wealth and prosperity to the whole area, providing hundreds of jobs. How can it possibly fail?
I am available for consultancy work at a very reasonable rate of £5,000 a day (or part thereof plus VAT) should the council require it.

20 mph speed limit.
Excoriator
3rd Aug 2024 2:11pm
Like many other I received an invitation in a leaflet from the Council to 'have my say' on their proposals for roads where a 20mph speed limit would apply. Attached to it was a list of the roads where they were proposing the new limit should apply. Some of them were a little strange.
One was the Rock Ferry Bypass. This is a dual carriageway fenced off from public access and currently has an 'average speed' limit of 50 on it. I really cannot see this stretch of road working well at 20.
The Esplanade in New Ferry was another. This is actually a footpath not a road and is unadopted. Some Amazon delivery men sprint along it at a fair old lick, but few exceed 20 anyway.
Can you be fined for running at over 20mph anyway?.

More Bins
diggingdeeper
19th Jul 2024 10:05am
The Government are making it compulsory for Councils to recycle food waste within the next two years. Trials have been at West Kirby and New Brighton.
I really can'r see how this makes any sense whatsoever, I can't think of one positive thing about it. The cost of collecting, processing and distributing the end product in terms of finance and/or ecology just doesn't stack up whatsoever. Perhaps with commercial food firms (cafe's through manufacturers) but definitely not domestic.
Thinking about our food waste I think it has amounted to a dozen egg shells in the last two weeks. I simply don't buy food that I am going to throw away, why would you?
The previous time this was trialled the food waste was put in the garden waste bin but it was decided it was unsafe to compost meat that way and cancelled.
Slightly related, somebody dumped about a dozen chicken carcasses at Egremont Beach the other day, they were spilling out of a heavy black bin bag on the seawall lower ledge.

Powell Street Photo
AndrewR
22nd Jun 2024 8:09am
Does anyone have a photo of Powell Street?
My gran used to live there, I remember the outside loo and it backed onto the playing fields which were used by Bidston Avenue school which I went to. Remember being thawed out after freeze cold football games in the tiny terrace house.
Powell Street was flattened to make way for a new development, it used to join up with Tollemache Road.
Thank you
