Dangerous Wirral

Casualties:

for cyclists the total rate is 15% above the UK average – and for child cyclists the Wirral rate is 48% higher.

The Green Party's Pat Cleary said: "In theory, Wirral is meant to be supporting sustainable travel modes such as walking and cycling. In reality, these figures show that Wirral is a very dangerous place to be a pedestrian or a cyclist. The figures for children are truly shocking and will be of real concern to every parent."
