Gritting Update in Wirral

I have just received this update regarding gritting in Wirral from the Mark Camborne The Council’s Health, Safety & Resilience Operations Manager:

Road Network – gritted primary and secondary routes yesterday afternoon.       Inspectors have been out assessing the network from 5.00AM this morning.      Intention is to undertake a full grit again late this afternoon.     There are some limited gangs of operatives out clearing footpaths in same priority as early in the week – Health facilities, transport hubs and retail outlets.     We are also looking to do some pavements around schools for the expected return on Monday.

Central Station

Earlier this evening I travelled over to Central Station to meet with colleagues from Merseytravel and Merseyrail to welcome  Lord Adonis, Secretary of State for Transport.    Lord Adonis will today announce crucial funding to improve Liverpool’s Central Station after it was named one of the worst in the country.    The station will share £50m that is being spread between the ten worst stations.   We are still waiting to see what share of the pot we will get.
