I have arranged a meeting with Cllr Ann Ainsworth at Kylemore Community Centre 23rd November to discuss secure motorcycle parking.

Colin Irlam, the council’s Strategic Transport Project Manager, has advised that the council has recently approved the Parking Strategy Appendix 1 – Wirral Council Draft Parking Strategy.pdf which MAG was involved with. Page 22 states “In terms of motorcycle parking, feedback from the Motorcycle Action Group suggests that there needs to be better direction signage for motorcyclists with spaces provided in prominent locations. In addition, they preferred parking where the lock and chain was part of the provision with ideally a locker to store helmets, etc”.

We need to decide where we want secure parking with lockers and in what order of priority.

Consultation has now finished and we have all completed the questionnaire. Does anyone want to attend the next Transport committee meeting to ask questions? E. g. what reduction in KSI has there been since the 20mph limits were introduced? If they don’t have any figures, why are they extending the speed limits without any evidence of their effectiveness? The last meeting was dismissive of a constituent who complained about the 20mph limits (9 minutes into the meeting).

Please complete the consultation on the New Ferry and Fender Lane orcas on the council website at the moment. Is anyone aware of any accidents due to these orcas?
