Well as i have now looked at the route of this race, and seeing the council trying to get roads resurfaced which the cyclist will use and the rest of the road users who have been crying out for them to fix the roads etc and for them to do it for the Tour Of Britain, is a disgrace and heads need to roll for this, i suppose after the race the town hall will also be throwing a banquette to show how well they did, so the real question i want to know, and countess others i have spoken to, how much is this costing to stage, and will the ratepayers be left with another bill at the end of it, it won't bring trade in most of the roads will be closed, there's even signs informing us the road will be used for the race and its not on the route so lot of confusing going on here, for people who won't be even able to travel to work. Is the council going to composite the firms for lost of workers and the workers loss of earnings. And for those interested, no i don't like pushbikes!

The Council just received a large grant to resurface roads and associated "improvements", as you say, this is being prioritised to cover the Tour of Britain course and possibly the Walker Cup (golf) approach routes.
While it is generally a good thing to showcase the Wirral in national/international events, the quality of the surfacing I have seen is appalling.
Here is a list of the roads the Council have planned (some already done) ...
Banks Road (Between North Road and South Road - east carriageway only), West Kirby and Thurstaston, hot rolled asphalt Barnston Road (Telegraph Road to Storeton Lane), Heswall, surface dress and lock chip Beaufort Road/Corporation Road (Wallasey Bridge Road to Cavendish Street), Bidston St James, surface dress and lock chip Bedford Road/Old Chester Road (Junction), Rock Ferry, hot rolled asphalt Birkenhead Road (Millhouse Lane to Barn Hey Crescent), Hoylake and Meols, surface dress and lock chip Brimstage Road (Old Clatterbridge Road to Beechway and Talbot Avenue to Rose Cottage entrance), Clatterbridge, hot rolled asphalt Cleveland Street (Rendle Street to Hamilton Square and Duke Street to Watson Street), Birkenhead and Tranmere Conway Street (Vittoria Street to Watson Street), Birkenhead and Tranmere, hot rolled asphalt Dock Road (Hickmans Road to Gorsey Lane), Seacombem surface dress and lock chip Duke Street (Beckwith Street to Cleveland Street), Birkenhead and Tranmere hot rolled asphalt Grange Road (Ashburton Road to Abbey Road), West Kirby and Thurstaston, hot rolled asphalt Grange Road (Abbey Road to Black Horse Hill), West Kirby and Thurstaston, surface dress and lock chip Grove Road (Between Dean Avenue and Consiton Avenue), Wallasey, hot rolled asphalt Heath Road (Norbury Avenue to 104 Heath Road), Bebington, hot rolled asphalt and surface dress and lock chip Hoylake Road (Susan Grove to Ely Avenue - and the Junction with Millhouse Lane), Moreton West and Saughall Massie, hot rolled asphalt Kelvin Road (Between Wheatland Lane to Birkenhead Road), Seacombe, hot rolled asphalt King Street, (between Maddock Road and Church Street), Liscard - hot rolled asphalt Market Street (The King's Gap to Wood Street), Hoylake and Meols, surface dress and lock Montgomery Hill (approach to roundabout), West Kirby and Thurstaston, hot rolled asphalt New Chester Road (Torr Drive to Heygarth Road, Junction at Eastham Rake and 407-466 New Chester Road), Eastham, hot rolled asphalt New Chester Road (Stanley Road to Rock Ferry Bypass), Birkenhead and Tranmere, surface dress and lock Old Chester Road (Between 220 Bebington Road and Town Lane), Rock Ferry, hot rolled asphalt Old Greasby Road/Arrowe Park Road (Junction), Upton, hot rolled asphalt Liscard Village (Rake Lane to Liscard Crescent), Liscard, hot rolled asphalt Park Road North (Duke Street to Conway Street), Birkenhead and Tranmere, hot rolled asphalt Pensby Road (Grange Road to Irby Road), Heswall, hot rolled asphalt Pensby Road (Irby Road to Downham Road North), Heswall, surface dress and lock chip Poulton Road (Ilchester Rorad to Halville Road), Seacombe, hot rolled asphalt Saughall Massie Road (Upton Bypass to Pump Lane), Moreton West and Saughall Massie, surface dress and lock chip St Hilary Brow (Roundabout at Breck Road to Claremount Road), Liscard, hot rolled asphalt Telegraph Road (Rocky Lane to Briar Drive), Heswall, hot rolled asphalt Thornton Common Road (The South Lodge to Willaston Road), Clatterbridge, surface dress and lock chip Town Lane (to be confirmed), Bebington, hot rolled asphalt Woodchurch Road (490 Woodchurch Road to Carlaw Road), Oxton, hot rolled asphalt Woodchurch Road (100 Common Field Road to 6 Common Field Road), Upton, surface dress and lock chip

They've resurfaced Heswall end of Barnston Road, this last week. Amazing what can be done when something other than the residents matters !
