It was moved by Councillor Prendergast, seconded by Councillor Morris:

Removal of Temporary Cycle Lanes

This council recognises that the temporary cycle lanes installed in Southport (Talbot Street, Hoghton Street and Queens Road) were a mistake that should be rectified by their removal.

They are damaging local businesses, limiting access to town centre services to those who rely on their cars and have reduced the amount of parking available in Southport town centre.

Therefore, this council acknowledges that a mistake has been made and resolves to remove the temporary cycle lanes at the earliest opportunity. 

Following a debate on the Motion the Chief Legal and Democratic Officer officiated a vote and the Mayor declared that the Motion was lost by 12 votes to 40 with 3 abstentions.
