Overview

• Two vehicles on Hale Road in Speke were found with smashed windows, egging and a punctured tyre after damage first noticed on Saturday.
• Residents say many of the cars belong to holidaymakers and taxi drivers avoiding airport charges by using the street for drop‑offs or long‑stay parking.
• Liverpool John Lennon Airport charges £6 for up to 10 minutes and £10 for 20 minutes at the express drop‑off, with 40 minutes free for Blue Badge holders.
• An airport spokesperson said it is looking at ways to deter pickups and drop‑offs on nearby roads and has previously backed a residents‑only permit scheme.
• Liverpool City Council cites existing waiting restrictions and enforcement operations with police, noting that legally parked, taxed vehicles not causing an obstruction are not an offence.
