00:01Changes are being made to a Wirral Road, dubbed Watsit Street, after a community backlash.
00:07Grange Road West in Birkenhead was redesigned last year using grant funding,
00:11introducing a one-way system, planters, benches and bright markings.
00:15Wirral Council says the six-month trial showed the one-way layout improved traffic flow
00:20at Charing Cross Junction. However, officials say the visual features generated significant
00:26concern. Leader Paula Bassnett says the authority has listened to residents and businesses. The
00:32street furniture will be removed, parking reinstated and materials reused elsewhere across the borough.
00:38Officials add the one-way system itself is expected to remain in place.
