Cllr John Salter is chasing up the promise of a closed passage-wayacross the motorway.  This is not merely for the convenience of pedestrians; it will also have the benefit of preventing yobs from throwing bricks and other missiles onto the traffic below.  There have also been suicides from bridges, which is another good reason to keep the footways covered.

John took it up previously, with Merseytravel, on behalf of concerned local residents when it came into sharp focus during police excercises at which he was present.

He is pressing them for a report on progress.  Watch this space.
