The council hopes to negotiate the acquisition of 57 plots of land to support the next phases of two huge infrastructure projects
A bustling roundabout and transport junction, infamously known as 'Kamikaze Island', is among several road junctions set for significant alterations as plans for two major infrastructure developments progress to the next stage.
Similarly, the Southport Eastern Access scheme, intended to mitigate congestion on the town's eastern approach, will require additional land to increase road capacity and create active travel links. In both instances, Sefton Council is endeavouring to negotiate land agreements with property owners, the Local Democracy Service reports.
According to Sefton Council, the main benefits of the scheme would result in reducing congestion on key routes, ease instances of 'rat running' and improve walking and cycling links to the town centre. Improvements to Southport's eastern travel routes have been the subject of discussion since the 1960s, but Sefton Council's Transport Planning team have been actively working on formal plans since 2016.
