00:00Whirl Council is removing bright orange road markings in Birkenhead after residents criticised
00:06the design, calling it a mess.
00:08The scheme on Grange Street West was introduced as a traffic calming measure in 2025.
00:15Council leader Paula Bassnett says the design was inappropriate for the area and that the
00:21road had been ridiculed on social media.
00:23She has asked officers to remove the markings by the end of the month.
00:27The planters and street furniture will be donated to schools and community groups.
00:33The council says the road will be redesigned, with further work planned after the markings
00:38are taken away.
00:39The final design will be developed after local views are considered.
