RESIDENTS are demanding to know when the replacement for a shelved road scheme will be back on the drawing board. The long-awaited Hall Lane bypass project is being dropped so the Royal Liverpool hospital can rebuild next to its existing premises. Liverpool council had wanted to lay the road through the same site earmarked by the Royalfor its new £480m complex. But council leader Warren Bradley has decided that the hospital must take priority to stop it moving out of the city centre. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT Now residents in nearby Kensington Fields are demanding to know when an alternative road scheme will be produced. The £12.5m bypass was going to pull traffic out of heavily-congested Hall Lane, a residential street on the main route between the M62 and the city centre. Kensington Fields co-operative will hold a residents' meeting next week to discuss a new way forward.
