The main road between West Kirby and Heswall will be partially closed next week for urgent repairs.

The route will be shut from 10am – 3pm from Monday 3 April until Thursday 6 April between Montgomery Hill in Caldy and the Cottage Loaf in Thurstaston, with diversions in place. Temporary traffic lights will be used at all other times.

In a statement on Twitter, Wirral Council said: “There’s a risk of falling rocks between Thurstaston Road and Montgomery Hill so we need to make urgent repairs.
