When you drive in to Liverpool from Bootle where there is a zebra crossing!! Then you have 2 Islands!! Get pass them then some cars get to speed down Moss Lane to the next traffic lights on Orrell Park Bridge the crossing needs to be changed urgently xx

We definitely need lights at this crossing and railings to stop the parking on pavements on moss lane preferably before there's a fatal accident.

Strongly agree with this as they’re both accidents waiting to happen. Wish I had rocks on me to throw every time someone doesn’t stop!
