approval and the necessary funding needs to be included within the
Council’s Capital Programme. The first Phase of the Maritime
Corridor Scheme is expected to cost approximately £12.5m.
Subject to approval from the Liverpool City Region Combined
Authority, a Grant Funding Agreement will be received for this
amount.

Consultation process
Consultation on the highway proposals formed
part of the wider consultation on The Maritime Corridor. This
consultation was completed in accordance with the proposals
approved by the Public Consultation and Engagement Panel in April
2021. Further detailed engagement with Ward Members, key
stakeholders, residents and business has recently been completed in
September and October 2023 and results appraised. Comments relating
to the Phase 1 proposals were summarised in the recent report to
Licensing and Regulatory Committee (Nov 23).
Recognising the importance of ensuring that all members are fully
briefed on the development of the scheme, its phasing, duration,
likely implications during construction and ultimate benefits,
including social value, that the scheme will deliver, a further
meeting ahs been held with Ward Members and some minor changes to
the scope of the works completed.
