00:01Opposition leaders have claimed a parking plan that could lead to the loss of spaces in Liverpool City Centre
00:07could drive people into other shopping districts as a bid is lodged to overturn it.
00:12Earlier this month, the Liverpool Council's Cabinet moved forward with sweeping changes to how motorists access the heart of town.
00:18City leaders backed a proposal to adopt a new parking strategy with a key aim of reducing the availability for people to drive into and park in the city centre.
00:27The major strategy includes bold plans to reduce city centre parking including the removal of existing city centre parking sites,
00:33a potential tax on employers with parking spaces and plans for a new multi-storey car park on the outskirts of the city centre.
00:40Now attempts have been made to get the decision thrown out after opposition councillors formally called in the Cabinet motion and asked them to look again.
00:48Any reduction in parking will need to be matched with improvements to alternative modes of travel.
00:53Among the changes to be taken up are a review of the existing residence parking permit scheme and potential changes.
01:00Council officers will work with the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority to develop park and ride sites to support public transport access into the city centre and report back to Cabinet in October 2026.
01:12While a feasibility study will be carried out assessing the potential for a new multi-storey car park in the city.
01:18Liverpool Council says its new parking strategy isn't about stopping people from driving into the city centre but about creating a cleaner, safer and more accessible Liverpool.
01:28The plan aims to encourage greener ways to travel with better quality parking in the right places.
01:34The council says its working to balance the needs of residents, businesses and visitors while making the city more liveable for everyone.
01:43If you're in a permanent place, you'll need to be diagnosed with a new property in the right places.
