MP in last ditch talks to fix Formby Woods problem

MP Bill Esterson has called on Sefton Council to “take action now” to ease ‘traffic and parking chaos’ around the National Trust sites.

Days of above-average temperatures combined with the start of the school holi- days resulted in thousands of visitors descending on the town for trips to the beaches at the two sites managed by the National Trust last week.

There are just a few hundred car park spaces at the two sites at Lifeboat Road and Victoria Road, and the Victoria Road Woods.
