The recent plans to build a new green space in the region came as welcome news for some people living up and down Merseyside but it has left a bitter taste in the mouths of those living in South Sefton.
The plans to build a new park the size of Anfield and Goodison's pitches combined in the city's north docks is the latest announcement in the Liverpool Waters development. Developers Peel L&P hope to build the almost five-acre ‘Central Park’ south of Collingwood Dock near the Tobacco Warehouse and Titanic Hotel, with Everton’s new stadium at Bramley Moore situated just north of the proposed site.
If approved the new park would be one of the city’s largest and most significant additions of green space to Kirkdale and the adjoining city centre area. Despite this, just three miles up the road Rimrose Valley Country Park is currently at risk of being replaced with an access road.
