Focus of work
Zero Carbon Liverpool City Region is a not-for-profit social enterprise that aims to help ensure that the Liverpool City Region reduces its carbon and greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Paris Agreement commitments by 2030 and reaches net-zero by 2040.
FIT provided funding to the organistion in 2023 to support the setting up of an Active Travel Stakeholder Engagement Forum (ASTEF) that would help inform the development and implentation of active travel schemes in Liverpool.
Impact
The ATSEF group has now been running for more than two years and is well established as a statutory consultee for any active travel schemes that Liverpool City Council is developing.
Activities undertaken as part of this project include:
- Three route rides on schemes being consulted on were coordinated and attended by members of the group, active travel officers and the consultants who designed the schemes.
- Consultation responses from the group were coordinated following these rides.
- Merseyside Cycling Campaign now has a page with information on ongoing active travel schemes.
- There are plans for Liverpool City Council to get a webpage on the council website where all active travel schemes can be found along with all associated documents and plans.
