City Centre Movement Strategy (CCMS)

Our £73 million programme of works to improve the roads, streets and public spaces in Liverpool City Centre is now well underway.  Our aim is to make the environment better for pedestrians, cars and public transport and the works will create a friendly city centre that is safe, clean and attractive.  The improved rail and bus facilities will also help to make the city more attractive for business, shopping, tourism and leisure, and the increased investment this brings will have economic benefits for the whole Merseyside area.  

Work is now complete on a number of sites including Greater Williamson Square, the Cavern Quarter and Renshaw Street.   These examples of the work we are undertaking show the high standards that will be achieved across the City Centre.  

Unfortunately, there will be some disruption while we carry out these works, but we are trying to reduce this by doing as much work as possible outside of peak hours.  

The Big Dig website contains information about areas of the City Centre currently affected by the works.  The site also gives details of major diversion routes.  

The City Centre Movement Strategy is supported by Merseytravel and Liverpool Vision, and the work is funded by the following parties:

• City Focus 
• Northwest Development Agency 
• Central Government through the Merseyside Local Transport Plan 
• Objective One Programme
