Purpose
Lathom South Parish Council have requested Lancashire County Council, under a Section 278 Agreement, to progress detailed design and construction of 2-way traffic control signals and widening of the footway at Firswood Road Bridge.
The Parish's original request proposed full or partial funding from Lancashire County Council; however, this was not supported given the site's good safety record and low observed pedestrian demand. The proposal offers limited benefit on the wider highway network. The project is strongly supported by the parish council.
Lathom South Parish Council (meeting date 13 May 2026 - AGM) have resolved to provide the full funding for the estimated project design and construction costs up to £195,387.

Kirstie Williams, Interim Head of Service, Highways has taken a decision to approve the Firswood Road Lathom - Introduction of 2 Way Traffic Control.
