Liverpool City Council transport bosses will reconvene next week to hammer out a way forward after opposition grew against plans to alter bus routes in Lime Street, a key part of its £47m connectivity masterplan.
A further meeting of the council’s highways and public spaces committee will take place on 15 April to discuss options for a way forward, after the committee’s meeting on 1 April failed to resolve the matter.
According to plans developed since initial consultation in late 2018, bus movements in the area were to be changed as part of a highways remodelling programme that formed a key plank of the £47m City Centre Connectivity programme.

An artist s impression of how the area outside St George s Hall could look
There is growing pressure on Liverpool Council to change its major redesign of the Lime Street and St George s area of the city centre.
Under the current plans, Lime Street is to be closed between St George s Place and the car park for the St John s Shopping Centre.
The only traffic permitted to move in this section of Lime Street would be cars accessing the car park, with through traffic not permitted.
