    I seem to remember him mentioning being a member of the "Liverpool Branch" of SSC. He lives West Derby way anyway.

    I am a mere member of Sabre as it is another of my interests other than all things Merseyside.



    To be honest, I only thought it fair to post a link to a similar thread as I have done likewise with some threads in Sabre where I have linked similar threads from this site. Its all connected in some form!!!

    Rather than building more dual carriageways into town we should be encouraging people to use public transport. Most people in the area covered by Aigburth Road are no more than a ten minute's walk from a railway station.

    For people coming along Aigburth Road from outside the city provision should be made in the Speke area for a park and ride scheme similar to the one at South Parkway.

    Apart from rush hour there isn't a great deal of heavy traffic on Park Road so it doesn't need traffic relief. I can't say that I have ever found the traffic along Riverside Drive all that heavy either so in an age where we are supposed to be encouraging people to use the car less, I'm not sure what the rationale is for this one.

    LIVERPOOL’S JLA airport is backing plans for a new Mersey bridge, after a report claimed that by 2015 around 2.5m people a year will be using the Runcorn bridge to get to the airport. Read

    looks like a nice bridge provided road access to and from the bridge are improved. I do think it sad that drivers still have to pay to use the Mersey tunnels though and, I am not sure how this will work, I mean as far as I understand the new bridge will be a toll but the old runcorn bridge will be free?

    A NEW interchange on the M56 in Cheshire to give direct access to the proposed new £450m river crossing is under discussion, following a massive public consultation exercise in Runcorn and Widnes. Read

    There are all sorts of rumours re payment to cross both bridges. The last I heard, the council said there would be discounts for local residents! So, the big question is how much will it cost to get across the river? Can't they just put a weight limit on the old bridge to keep all the heavies on the new one and let them pay?

    I think they have said clearly there will have to be payment on the new one as that is the only way they could afford to build it, they just need to work out a scheme for the Silver Jubilee Bridge

    I think you will find that the Silver Jubilee Bridge will be altered to One Lane Traffic in each direction with Cycle lanes either side.

    The last Toll proposal I heard of was that both bridges would be tolled the same but with a reduction for "Local Residents".
    Let us not forget that lots of people outside of Halton BC, work either side of the water......... will they be on a reduced rate?.
    Time will tell I suppose.
