Sefton Economic Strategy Consultation feedback summary.
In total there were 80 comments.
The Liverpool City Region combined Authority is developing a new Local Transport Plan. This local transport plan will look broadly at all transport modes to deliver a high-class transport system fit for the region.
A public consultation was held on the Maritime Corridor Improvements scheme, between Monday 1st March and Sunday 11th April 2021. The Maritime Corridor area reaches from Switch Island to Netherton Way (A5038), including the A59 Ormskirk Road and the A5036 Dunnings Bridge Road, linking Atlantic Park to the wider region and the Port of Liverpool. The proposed improvements involve the upgrade of 5 key junctions throughout the area; as well as providing better facilities for walking and cycling. The key aim of the scheme is to improve the traffic conditions and make the area more accessible for all transport users.
We asked how supportive / what people thought of the proposed junction changes for the 5 key junctions on the scheme. We also gave people the opportunity to make any other comments (as an open text box question).
Each of the junction improvement had its own page on the consultation to allow people to comment on them all separately or just one.
The junctions we asked about were:
We also asked about how people felt about the active travel elements including to the potential of:

During 2021/22 we asked service users and other stakeholders about the substance use treatment service. Our aim is to deliver a modern, integrated, recovery orientated, substance use treatment service for individuals in Sefton who need support to recover from substance use and get their lives back on track.
We wanted to engage with key stakeholders i.e. service staff, pharmacists, partner organisations within the local pathway and service users to get your feedback.
The main themes of all the engagement were around awareness of service, feedback of referral process, quality of service, any gaps in service, any barriers, and stigma.
On the whole respondents were positive about the local service provision and particularly the key workers. Some suggestions you said were:
This is what we have done/are planning to do:
The consultation was undertaken in October-November 2020 to seek the views of both golfers and non-players about the current management of the golf course, and its potential development in the future. This was promoted on site and on-line, with targeted efforts to the resident club, existing players, local schools, colleges and businesses. We received 177 responses.
This consultation was undertaken as part of a wider plan to develop both the course and existing facilities including the development of a driving range on site. The plan was to see the views of golfers, residents, business and visitors and use the information to develop a way forward for the course.
From the questionnaire responses it is fair to say that the respondents enjoy the course, even though they feel the off-course facilities are inadequate. The condition of the course is felt to be acceptable and respondents appreciate that it stays open most of the year compared to other local courses. Despite the poor condition of facilities off the course, golfers do continue to use the course. Golfers would like to see improvements in all elements of the course, from the course itself, practice facilities and the built facilities too, while non-golfers would like improvements to the Whitehouse Café.
There is support for a Driving Range to be developed alongside improving the putting green already on site to upgrade the practice facilities available to users. There is an overwhelming response to improve the off-course facilities with re-opening the Whitehouse Café to provide a bar and clubroom with an associated food offer – somewhere for golfers to get hot food and drink before, during and after a round of golf. Interestingly a few non-golfers responded with the need for a bar as a social place for local residents bringing back a facility that was lost to the area a number of years ago. On the course itself, people would like to see improvements in and around the course including improving the drainage. There was overwhelming support for a possible redesign on the course to improve it.
Overall, the consultation has identified the need for significant investment in both the practice and built facilities at the course and has also identified where smaller investment is needed on the course. Investment is being sought to develop the practice facilities through a prudential loan and there is a long-term ambition to develop the Whitehouse Café to improve the built facilities / food and drink offer through a concession.
Course improvements are on going with improvements to ditches (to aid drainage) and irrigation system planned in the winter of 21/22. Officers are looking at proposals to improve the wider course too with potential external investment in this.
Plans are being drawn up to consider opportunities for the Whitehouse café with a view to getting this back open and available for golfers and non-golfers alike.
These plans are part of an investment strategy for the course that is currently going through Council processes.
Southport has the opportunity to bid for up to £50m of central Government funding as part of the Town Deal Fund, to boost economic growth and town wide regeneration. As part of the stakeholder engagement for the submission, a consultation exercise was undertaken to gather feedback on a number of Big Ideas that would inform a wider Vision for Southport.
Each of these Big Ideas included a number of project ideas that we thought had the potential to attract wider investment both from the Government and from the private sector. We asked what you thought of these Big Ideas and what you think we might have missed.
The Town Deal Board received over 2,033 completed questionnaires, with 826 detailed comments from the questionnaires. In addition to this, we received 40 emails, 5 phone calls and 4 letters.
Following the online consultation, the Town Deal Board also engaged with a number of other stakeholder groups including university students, college students school children, visitors and local business owners.

The Town Deal Board will continue the conversation with residents, visitors and businesses as the Town Investment Plan progresses.

Between November and December 2019, parents and carers of children/young people with SEND had the opportunity to take part in a survey on what is going well and what could be improved in Sefton around the key areas of education, health, social care, information provision and how the Sefton SEND Area Partnership is working together.
The survey would help provide the SEND Continuous Improvements Board with a baseline to monitor experience, involvement and satisfaction.
Thank you to all the parents and carers who took the time to complete the survey. The full report is available to view on the Local Offer:

In the winter of 2019, we asked people their thoughts on the condition for Bootle Golf Course and where they felt priorities for improvements lay. The analysis of the survey revealed that there is generally good support for the condition of the course itself but the off course facilities were inadequate.
The survey revealed a strong desire to improve the practice facilities and the toilet facilities were also identified as poor.
Plans are well underway for the development of a driving range - quotes for the build have been obtained (November 2020) and it is hoped to have works on site in early 2021.
Green Sefton have converted the old toilets and storage areas into a new and improved toilet facility for male and female golfers.
On the course, continual improvement continues to improve the quality of the course and works planned this winter (including some drainage work) should improve this further.
Work continues to try and identify funding opportunities to develop the off course facilities further in line with responders comments, however significant investment is needed here.
