A potential £2 parking charge has been mooted as a possible way to generate much needed funds to maintain a popular Liverpool green space and historic hall.
Despite being a much-loved country park, the future of Croxteth Hall and the surrounding greenery has been under the spotlight after Liverpool Council admitted it needed to look at new ways to manage its heritage assets. The local authority launched a five-week consultation seeking people’s views on how and why they use the park, which currently costs the cash-strapped authority £1m to maintain.
City council officials said they needed to explore commercial opportunities to bring in “much-needed” money to invest into the park. After a short delay, Liverpool Council has revealed the findings from its public engagement exercise.
