Protest planned over plans to build a new road through Merseyside parkland

A protest is being held today to stop a dual carriageway being built through Merseyside parkland.

The campaign to Save Rimrose Valley is being taken to Highways England, it's the latest in a series of high profile demonstrations by the group.

They have urged anyone who cares about green space, air pollution and the environment to object to plans for the dual carriageway at a series of public information events organised by Highways England.

Supporters say the new road is not welcome and demand that better alternatives are researched and offered to the public.

A protest will be held outside Tuesday's event in Seaforth to highlight the environmental impact of the road proposal.
