A specialist route could be installed near to the city's expanding Knowledge Quarter
Liverpool Council has launched a consultation on the installation of a new bus-only lane on Irvine Street turning into Mount Vernon Road. The lane is located in a major development area for the city, around the Knowledge Quarter, Paddington Village and the new Royal hospital.
According to the city council, the installation of the bus lane would help reduce congestion, and improve public transport journey times as well as improving road safety for all users including pedestrians and cyclists. It is hoped this would lead to an improvement in air quality with cars taken off the road.
Should the plans be endorsed and adopted, a six month warning notice period would be in effect, with no fines issued to first-time offenders. Following DfT guidelines, there will be a 6-month warning notice period, where no fines will be issued for first-time offenders.

Wandsworth Council: Low council tax but high-quality servicesWandsworth Council charges residents in a band-D property just £961 this year, yet it's still opening libraries and launching 'skip days' - many across the UK might be looking and wondering: how can we get the same service? Wandsworth Council charges some of the lowest council tax in England but still makes provisions for extra services – how does it do it? It is shortly after 9:30am on a brisk Saturday morning on Larch Close in Balham, and a father and his toddler daughter are chanting a made-up song while waiting in the line to use an enormous skip that’s been placed in the street. “Mega skip day,” the two cheerfully chant as the father finishes kicking apart a shelving unit so he can dispose of it. The others gathering around are less obviously exuberant but still share cheerful words with the high-vis clad council workers Emma and Eve who are staffing the skip.
