Campaigners have vowed to continue their fight against homes being built on Liverpool FC’s former training ground as the deadline for submissions moves into view.
In two days, public comments will no longer be able to be submitted in relation to plans to build new homes as part of a wider redevelopment of the former Melwood training ground in West Derby. Those campaigning against the plans have vowed to carry on their fight, with a plea being circulated across social media for residents to get involved.
Melwood was the home of the Reds for seven decades, dating back to the Bill Shankly era, before the club relocated to its new £50m training centre in Kirkby in 2020. The site was then officially handed over to housing group, Torus, who submitted a planning application last August for a mixture of 170 homes, bungalows and care units.
