Consultation and engagement

Bath Street transport intervention consultation results

The Bath Street consultation ran from February to March 2025.

We asked

We asked for your views on proposals to create an improved cycle path and walking facilities along Bath Street and Waterloo Road which will join up with the existing scheme on The Strand and at Regent Road.

The plans also proposed to upgrade the area known as the Bath Street Triangle with new planting and places to sit and improved access for people with prams and wheelchair users. New dedicated controlled pedestrian crossings were also proposed at William Jessop Way and along Waterloo Road.

This scheme is part of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority’s ambition to create 600km of Active Travel infrastructure throughout the region, to better connect communities, provide a wider range of safe travel choices, reduce congestion and improve health.

You said

Respondents to the public consultation were overall in favour of the proposed scheme and all the individual elements of the scheme that were consulted on.

A total of 137 responses were received via the online survey, at the in-person events or by direct email to Liverpool City Council. Almost 66% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the cycling and walking improvements should be progressed.

Almost 68% of respondents also agreed or strongly agreed that a new accessible route and public realm improvements should be progressed for the Bath Street Triangle area. Consultees were also asked their views on the removal of the existing roundabout on William Jessop Way and replacement with a new signal-controlled crossing for pedestrians and cyclists. The majority of respondents (64%) supported these proposals.

The consultation reached a wide range of stakeholders, and all feedback will be considered at the detailed design and implementation stages.
