The cost of a controversial transformation has been revealed as a consultation continues for the future of a popular Merseyside park.
Orrell Mount Park, better known as Silcocks, was the subject of days of protests last year when residents blocked the paths of a number of lorries trying to enter the grounds of the park. The protests were held ahead of work to transform part of the park into an all-weather 3G pitch.
The plans have been backed by the Jamie Carragher 23 Foundation in a bid to offer better facilities to the local area. The plans proved unpopular and people in Bootle came together to protect the green space from the development.
