The Halewood Investment Masterplan to deliver £30m of investment over the coming years includes improvements to walking and cycling routes across Halewood.
Under the proposals, Wood Road will benefit from an off-road cycleway running from Higher Road and through the proposed shared use path in Grace Park to Leathers Lane.
What is proposed?
- A two-way cycleway travelling in both directions along Wood Road
- The installation of two signalised crossings, with one outside Yew Tree Primary School and another between Pendleton Green and Wenlock Drive
- The installation of two raised tables will be installed on The Avenue junction with Wood Road and the other on Pendleton Green junction with Wood Road to improve pedestrian safety.
- The construction of three parking bays outside Grace Park
- Double yellow lines to ensure the proposed footway and cycleway is not obstructed
When would works take place?
The proposed works would commence in April 2025 and would be scheduled to complete in August 2025.

Cllr Tony Brennan, Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economic Development, said:
“Active travel improvements provide a host of benefits; improving people’s health and wellbeing, reducing congestion and pollution and making the local area more accessible to a wider range of people. Our vision is for Halewood to become accessible by foot, bike or wheelchair and we want residents from all corners of the town to enjoy the improved facilities that are being created. We’re keen for as many people as possible to have their say on these proposals.”
