Overview
- Orange and yellow designs cover about 170 yards of Grange Road West, including pavement and carriageway, as part of a westbound-only layout between Charing Cross and Clayton Street.
- Wirral Council says the scheme seeks safer crossings, a more attractive shopping street, reduced vehicle dominance and maintained access for traffic.
- Planters and benches will mark the boundary between widened pedestrian space and the single-lane route once installation is complete.
- John Graham Ltd received £2.9 million from the Future High Street Fund to deliver the works after consultations in 2022–23, with completion expected between autumn and winter 2025.
- Residents have derided the look as “giant Wotsits,” and a local Green councillor called the markings “jarring” while requesting a review of the appearance against original plans.
