The proximity of the area to Liverpool John Lennon Airport (JLA) has turned some roads in Speke into a popular drop-off spot for holidaymakers and drivers.

Residents say drivers, including taxis, use the road as a drop-off and pickup point throughout the day and night, with some holidaymakers leaving their cars parked on the road for the duration of their trip.

Some drivers waiting to pick people up are urinating in bottles and leaving them on the street, residents claim.

Recent tensions have arisen following the damage of two cars, believed to belong to holidaymakers.

People in the area are advocating for extended free parking, larger taxi ranks, and improved signage at the airport.
