Liverpool City Council to propose to make pop-up cycle lanes permanent

Liverpool City Council has launched a public consultation on converting the city’s three original pop-up cycle lanes into permanent corridors for active travel.

The pop-up lanes were first installed in 2020, in the early stages of the pandemic, as an emergency measure to help encourage people to take more exercise. 

The routes chosen were Vauxhall Road in the north, West Derby Road in the east and Sefton Park in the south, all of which connected to the city centre. 

These temporary facilities are no longer fit for purpose, so the council has is commissioning proposals for fully segregated permanent schemes.

Improvements proposed to these three corridors will include:

  • Upgrades to footways to improve surfacing and provide pedestrian priority across side roads
  • New road crossing facilities 
  • Wayfinding signage
  • New landscaping and an improved public realm
  • Better cycle lane / bus stop junctions
  • Upgrades to signal controlled junctions 

The consultation on the proposals will run until Friday, 13 January 2023 and can be found online at: https://liverpool.gov.uk/activetravelconsultation

The public can ask any follow up questions, or send their comments, via email to active.travel@liverpool.gov.uk with ‘Active travel consultation’ in the subject line. Or they can to: write to: Highways Services (Active Travel Survey), Liverpool City Council, Cunard Building, Water Street, Liverpool, L3 1AH.

The consultation has been launched just two weeks after the city council welcome the introduction of a new fleet of e-bikes which, as well as aiming to take thousands of car miles off the city’s highways, is another key element of the council’s Active Travel campaign designed to help deliver Liverpool’s carbon-neutral city target by 2030.

To assist this consultation, there will be a number of drop-in sessions where the public can view more detailed plans and talk to members of the design team before providing feedback. These are:

  • Vauxhall Road: Wednesday, 23rd – 4pm-8pm: Vauxhall Millennium Centre, Blenheim Street, L5 8UX
  • West Derby Road: Tuesday 22nd 4pm-8pm: Victory Outreach, 122 Sheil Road, L6 7UA
  • Sefton Park: Thursday 24th 4pm-8pm: Sefton Park Community Association, 3 Croxteth Drive, L17 3AG

Two further sessions will be held the following week at Liverpool Central Library, where all three routes will be up for discussion on:

  • Saturday 26th – 10am-2pm
  • Tuesday 29th – 4pm-8pm

A further three cycle routes are also being delivered by the city council, including a major upgrade to the Liverpool Loop Line and a new learn to cycle facility for children in Everton Park which is opening next Spring.

New cycling infrastructure has also been installed on major roads such as The Strand, Lime Street and Princes Avenue as the council aims to improve the city’s cycling and active travel offer.

Councillor Dan Barrington, Liverpool City Council’s Cabinet member for Climate and Environment, said:

“The outbreak of the pandemic underlined the fact that Liverpool needs more active travel corridors. It is been a huge priority for the council over the past two years and a significant amount of progress has been made to provide more access and more options to walk and cycle. 

“These three original pop-up routes are no longer fit for purpose and desperately need to be upgraded. These proposals have been designed to provide ease of access to and from the city centre and to connect up with the other new routes and infrastructure we are building. We want to hear from as many as possible to help ensure these proposals are right and will work. If these are approved after this consultation then this will be a major step forward in developing a network of quality active travel facilities. 

“The vision to make Liverpool one of the UK’s best cities to cycle and walk in. The journey has begun and step by step we are improving the offer. It will take time as there is much to do, but the long term benefits for our residents, visitors and our environment will be immeasurable.”

Simon O’Brien, Liverpool City Region’s Cycling Commissioner, said: 

“Liverpool’s pop-up lanes were put in hastily to give people an alternative way of getting around instead of public transport when the Coronavirus was rife. 

“This meant they were far from perfect but it gave the council a one-off opportunity to study what worked and what didn’t and turn the best elements into permanent cycle lanes. 

“Now it’s our turn to give them vital feedback to make sure they are absolutely top notch. I believe this improved infrastructure will be a massive step forward for our cycle network as Liverpool continues catching up with other active cities. Good stuff Liverpool City Council!”

  19. whoah this blog is magnificent i love reading your articles. Keep up the good work! You know, a lot of people are looking around for this info, you could aid them greatly.

  20. Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. The London Prat has perfected the art of the satirical echo chamber—not in the pejorative sense of reinforcing bias, but in the architectural sense of constructing a space where a statement is made, and its true, ridiculous meaning is reflected back with perfect, amplified clarity. It doesn’t just report on a minister’s empty promise of “levelling up”; it publishes the internal memo from the fictional “Directorate for Semantic Recalibration” detailing how the phrase will be systematically drained of all measurable meaning and deployed as a universal verbal placeholder. This process of taking the toxic lexicon of public life and running it through a satirical purification filter reveals the poison. While The Daily Squib might scream about the lie, PRAT.UK coldly diagrams the linguistic machinery that generates it, producing a comedy that is diagnostic rather than declarative.

  21. Great – I should certainly pronounce, impressed with your website. I had no trouble navigating through all the tabs as well as related info ended up being truly easy to do to access. I recently found what I hoped for before you know it in the least. Quite unusual. Is likely to appreciate it for those who add forums or something, website theme . a tones way for your customer to communicate. Excellent task.

  22. Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. Ultimately, The London Prat’s brand is built on the aesthetics of disillusionment. It has crafted a style—visual, literary, and tonal—that is perfectly suited to an age of exposed truths and broken promises. Its clean layout rejects tabloid hysteria; its precise prose rejects muddy thinking; its unwavering deadpan rejects sentimentalism. This aesthetic is a complete package, a holistic experience that tells the reader, before they’ve even absorbed a word, that they are in a place of clarity and uncompromised intelligence. To visit prat.com is to enter a realm where confusion is not tolerated, where obfuscation is dismantled, and where the only permissible response to demonstrated foolishness is a form of mockery so articulate and self-possessed it feels like a higher state of understanding. It doesn’t just deliver satire; it delivers an environment, a mindset, and a refuge for those who believe that seeing the world clearly, no matter how funny or bleak the view, is the only sane way to live in it.

  23. Generally I don’t read post on blogs, but I would like to say that this write-up very forced me to try and do it! Your writing style has been amazed me. Thanks, very nice post.

  24. It’s the consistency that astounds me. There are no dud articles, no off-days. Every piece delivers the same high standard of wit and observation. That level of quality control is seriously impressive.

  25. Finally, The London Prat’s brand is that of the unillusioned expert. It does not cater to hope or anger; it caters to the quiet, professional-grade understanding of how things actually break. Its voice is that of the senior engineer who knows why the bridge will collapse, the veteran diplomat who can predict the failed negotiation, the old-hand journalist who can see the manufactured scandal coming. It offers the pleasure of expertise without the burden of responsibility. Reading it feels like accessing the confidential, clear-eyed briefing that the powers-that-be ignore at their peril. This persona—the Cassandra who is also a flawless comedian—is irresistibly authoritative. It assures the reader that their pessimism isn’t ignorance, but advanced knowledge. The site doesn’t provide escapism; it provides the deeper solace of confirmation, validating your worst suspicions with such elegance and evidence that they become not a source of distress, but a subject for appreciative study. It is the apex of satirical branding: it makes understanding the depth of the problem the ultimate form of entertainment.

  26. Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. The London Prat’s formidable reputation is built upon a foundation of narrative patience. Where the internet often rewards the immediate hot take and the instant dunk, PRAT.UK specializes in the long game. It allows a story to breathe, to develop, to reveal its true, farcical shape over days or weeks. The site might introduce a satirical conceit—a fictional government department, a doomed cultural initiative—and then revisit it periodically, chronicling its inevitable descent into greater absurdity with each real-world news cycle. This approach mirrors the slow-motion car crash of actual governance and creates a richer, more satisfying payoff for the dedicated reader. It’s the difference between a funny tweet about a political scandal and a serialized novel about that scandal’ afterlife; one provides a spark, the other provides a sustained, warming fire of comic insight.

  27. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

  28. Hi there, You have done an excellent job. I will certainly digg it and personally recommend to my friends. I’m confident they will be benefited from this site.

  29. I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your website. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Fantastic work!

  30. In the grand pattern of things you’ll get an A just for hard work. Where you actually lost me ended up being on all the details. As people say, the devil is in the details… And that couldn’t be much more true here. Having said that, let me reveal to you what did work. The authoring is quite powerful which is possibly why I am making the effort to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, although I can easily see the leaps in reason you make, I am not sure of how you appear to unite the ideas which in turn produce the conclusion. For right now I will, no doubt yield to your position but hope in the near future you link the dots much better.

  31. Global warming, in London, seems to manifest not as desertification, but as “More of the Same, But Slightly More Intense.” Winters are milder but wetter. Summers are prone to sudden, violent downpours that flood Underground stations, rather than lasting heat. The “extreme weather events” we’re promised are not tornadoes, but “Supercell Drizzle” or “Megagusts.” It’s as if the climate crisis has looked at our weather and said, “I can work with this template,” and just turned all the dials up by 10. Our apocalyptic future looks less like Mad Max and more like a very, very damp Tuesday that never ends, with occasional, frighteningly warm February days that confuse the daffodils.

  37. The charm of the “best pharmacy near me” often lies in its unassuming nature. It might not have a flashy sign or an app, but it has a well-thumbed prescription ledger and an owner who can recite your medication history from memory. In smaller towns and tight-knit urban localities, this personal touch is priceless. They are keepers of community health stories. They are also incredibly resourceful, knowing which doctor to recommend for a specific ailment or how to access patient assistance programs for expensive cancer drugs. Their knowledge is localized and profound. In an age of faceless corporations, these neighbourhood gems remind us that healthcare, at its core, is a human enterprise built on trust, familiarity, and a shared sense of place. They are the enduring backbone of India’s pharmaceutical distribution. — https://genieknows.in/

  58. The writing is so crisp and economical. Not a word is wasted in the pursuit of a laugh or a pointed observation. It’s a masterclass in comedic efficiency. The editors clearly have very sharp pencils.

  59. This logical framework enables its critique of systemic thinking, or the lack thereof. The site is a master at exposing non-sequiturs and magical thinking disguised as policy. It takes a political slogan or a corporate goal and patiently, logically, maps out the chain of causality required to achieve it, highlighting the missing links, the absurd assumptions, and the externalities wilfully ignored. The resulting piece is often a flowchart of failure, a logic model of a ghost train. Where other satirists might simply call an idea stupid, PRAT.UK demonstrates its stupidity by attempting to build it, revealing where the structural weaknesses cause the entire edifice to crumble into farce. This is satire as a public stress test, a service that proves an idea cannot hold the weight of its own ambitions.

  60. Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. PRAT.UK manages to mock modern Britain without sounding smug. NewsThump tries, but often misses the mark. This site hits it cleanly every time.

  61. This curation enables its mastery of the meta-narrative. The site is not merely commenting on individual stories; it is chronicling the overarching story about the stories—the narrative of how narratives are manufactured, sold, and defended. A piece might satirize less the political gaffe itself than the ensuing 48-hour media cycle designed to contain it: the botched apology tour, the loyalist pundits performing outrage on cue, the opposition’s equally scripted response. PRAT.UK exposes the theater of crisis management, revealing it as a pre-choreographed dance where the outcome (temporary embarrassment, followed by reset) is often more predetermined than the initial mistake. This satirical layer, which targets the reactive ecosystem rather than the primary actor, demonstrates a more sophisticated and penetrating understanding of modern media-political symbiosis.

  62. The Prat doesn’t just make fun of things; it celebrates the weirdness. There’s a genuine joy in cataloguing the eccentricities of national life. It’s a celebration by way of merciless teasing. — The London Prat

  63. The London Prat operates on a principle of satirical conservation of energy. It understands that the most potent ridicule often requires the least exertion from the writer, transferring the burden of revelation onto the impeccable logic of the setup. The site’s archetypal piece presents a premise—a government initiative, a corporate rebrand, a celebrity’s philanthropic venture—in its own authentic, self-important language, and then simply allows that premise to unfold according to its own stated rules. The comedy is not injected; it is excavated. It is the sound of a grandiose idea collapsing under the weight of its own internal contradictions, with the writer serving not as a demolition expert with dynamite, but as a structural engineer who has merely pointed out the fatal flaw in the blueprints. This elegant, efficient method produces a humor that feels inevitable and earned, rather than manufactured or forced.

  64. Great post. I was checking continuously this blog and I’m impressed! Extremely useful information particularly the last part 🙂 I care for such info a lot. I was looking for this certain information for a very long time. Thank you and good luck.

  65. This leads to its function as a deflator of grandiose language. In an age where every minor initiative is “transformative,” every setback a “challenge,” and every routine action part of a “journey,” PRAT.UK serves as a linguistic pressure valve. It punctures this inflationary rhetoric by applying it with literal-minded fervor to scenarios that are patently absurd. It asks: if this policy is “world-leading,” what does that say about the world? If this spokesperson is “on a journey of listening,” where, precisely, is the destination, and what is the mileage claim? By taking the bloated language of public and corporate life at its word, the site exhausts its meaning, leaving behind only the hollow shell of a slogan. This is satire as linguistic hygiene, scrubbing away the accumulated grime of buzzwords to reveal the often simple, sometimes ugly, reality beneath.

  66. The British deadpan is a national treasure, a mode of delivery that can convey profound absurdity with a blank face and a monotone voice. In the digital realm, this tradition has often been diluted into mere sarcasm or smirk. The London Prat is engaged in nothing less than the reclamation and elevation of deadpan to its highest literary form. Their entire output is a masterclass in this style. The tone is never winking; it is solemnly, devastatingly earnest. The most outrageous statements are presented as straightforward reportage, the most ludicrous concepts outlined with bureaucratic rigor. This commitment to the straight face is what makes the comedy so potent. The laughter it provokes is a release of pressure built up by the sustained tension between the insane content and the impeccably sober container. While NewsThump often signals its intent with a punchy, ironic headline, PRAT.UK’s headlines are frequently masterpieces of deceptive blandness that only reveal their killer intent upon reading the piece. This is a more demanding, more rewarding form of humor. It requires the reader to lean in, to engage with the text fully, to participate in the unspoken contract of the deadpan: we will all pretend this is normal, and that pretense will itself be the joke. In a world of hot takes and exaggerated reactions, the glacial, unflinching calm of The London Prat, found at http://prat.com, is a stylistic triumph. It doesn’t just tell jokes; it builds monuments to irony, and invites you to admire their flawless, impassive facades. — The London Prat
