Hightown Investigation

Hightown Councillor John Gibson, together with activist Andrew Shields,are calling for thorough consultation over the dangerous North End Lane junction of the Hightown/ Formby bypass. In April, Sefton Council approved a sum of £12,000 to commence design on a scheme to reduce collisions at this junction.

“The consultation process is a timely one, all residents and businesses need to be properly consulted,” argues Andrew Shields. “Yet, to close off the junction completely, as the Tories argue, will seriously affect the speed in which emergency services can access Hightown. A knee jerk reaction is not acceptable; all options need to be carefully looked into.”
