Merseytravel: please transform the Waterloo Interchange into a green space!
Neil Doolin, Green Party Local Campaigner for Waterloo & Seaforth has launched a petition calling on Merseytravel to improve the Bus Interchange on South Road, Waterloo.
Neil Doolin, spokesperson for Sefton Green Party, says:
“Most of us agree, the Bus Interchange on South Road in Waterloo is ugly. It’s a concrete eyesore that does nothing to enhance the local environment or make local residents proud to live in the area.
“Merseytravel have owned the site since at least 2008 and as far as anyone can remember nothing much has been done to enhance or improve it. Residents all agree on one thing it does do; it attracts a huge amount of litter.
“Transforming this concrete jungle into a lush green space would not only help beautify our neighbourhood but also provide numerous health benefits for residents. Studies show that exposure to nature improves mental health and reduces stress levels (source: NHS). Furthermore, it would contribute positively towards tackling climate change by increasing carbon sequestration.
“We are calling on Merseytravel to take action now. Let’s start turning a grey and sad looking South Road into a vibrant oasis of life and colour! Please sign this petition if you believe in creating cleaner, healthier and happier communities through greener environments.”
