Liverpool Football Club provided new information and feedback on the extension to the Anfield Road end yesterday as they collated the responses from local residents, business owners and fans. The results of the first consultation show that the view from those involved was largely positive.

There is a slight change in plan which means there are discussions and further proposals to implement a road which will allow local residents access on a daily basis whist also becoming a pedestrianised area on match days, ensuring the safety of the fans. As a knock on effect the car parking spaces situated outside of  the Anfield end will be lost but other parking will be provided on Stanley Park.  There is also a slight change in design from some of the previous imagery to incorporate the road.

 During this first stage, over 800 responses were received. The majority of the feedback was positive and supportive of the club’s vision, along with some constructive feedback from local residents on the impact of the proposed closure of a section of Anfield Road. A whopping 93% of those who attended were in support of the extension and the clubs plans to develop the surrounding areas. The club are also committed to recycling and waste management as part of their “Reds Going Green” programme and regularly review what improvements can be made on match days.Other topics that were also covered included hosting more non football events as well as redeveloping the surrounding areas.
