A temporary traffic order has been made in the Baltic Triangle to allow the installation of a rain garden and drainage system. Liverpool City Council has issued the order, which suspends and relocates sections of limited waiting and Baltic Triangle business permit holder parking bays on Blundell Street, according to a public notice in the ECHO.
What is changing
A section of the existing Baltic Triangle limited waiting parking place for business permit holders (outer zone) on the north west side of Blundell Street is suspended from 5.5m south west of the junction with Jamaica Street for 129m. Temporary Baltic Triangle limited waiting and business permit bays (outer zone) are introduced, keeping the same rules: maximum wait of two hours, no return within one hour, Monday to Sunday, 7am to 11pm.
The temporary bays are set out in three parts on the north west side of Blundell Street: (a) from 5.5m south west of the junction with Jamaica Street for 47m, (b) from 60m south west of the junction for 40m, and (c) from 107.5m south west of the junction for 89.5m.
When will this be in place
The order was put in place from July 24, 2026 and is due to run until January 24, 2028, or for a shorter period if the works finish earlier.
Where exactly are the bays affected
Location: Blundell Street, Baltic Triangle, on the north west side near the junction with Jamaica Street (postcodes in the area include L1 0AJ and L1 0BF). The measurements above define the sections being suspended and the positions of the temporary bays while works are underway.
Who can park and for how long
The affected bays are Baltic Triangle business parking permit holder spaces in the outer zone that also allow limited waiting. Rules remain unchanged for the temporary bays: maximum stay two hours, no return within one hour, Monday to Sunday, 7am to 11pm.
Why is this happening
The arrangement facilitates installation of a rain garden and sustainable drainage system designed to manage surface water more sustainably and reduce flood risk during heavy rainfall.
How might this affect residents, businesses and visitors
Drivers should check on-street signs for the exact start and end points of the suspended and temporary bays before parking. Short-stay visits and permit holder parking remain available but may be in different positions than usual along Blundell Street. Loading, access and other restrictions may operate as signed on street and should be observed at all times.
What about disabled parking
Blue Badge holders should follow on-street signage and bay markings, as locations and availability can change during works periods.
How to find more information or raise concerns
Those who have any concerns or believe they may be adversely impacted are encouraged to contact Liverpool City Council's highways team with queries about access, signage or the works programme. The full statutory notice is available through official public notice channels and council information pages.
Legal basis
The order is made under Section 14 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and varies the Parking Places and Controlled Parking Zone (Liverpool) Order 2009 for the duration of the works.
