In a move to improve the region's roads, the Combined Authority is seeking to approve the £232.96m from the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS), for a Highways Maintenance and Non-Maintenance package, with Liverpool earmarked to receive £50.55m to deliver local schemes.

Focusing on key corridors, the proposed package represents a co-ordinated series of measures all designed to support public transport services, relieve congestion, and improve air quality for local communities.
The measures include carriageway resurfacing to improve the condition of the roads, drainage works to help prevent flooding, new streetlights.
Bus users, cyclists and pedestrians would also benefit as plans include upgrades to bus shelters, improved footways and cycleways, plus new pedestrian crossing schemes.
The proposals form part of Mayor Rotheram’s plans for an integrated London-style transport network that makes the region’s network easier to use, cheaper, quicker, and more reliable.
