Work is to start on a series of safe routes in a popular North Liverpool park as concerns continue about poor lighting.
The ECHO has seen an email from Cllr Jane Corbett, deputy leader of Liverpool Council, and Everton ward member, confirming that work will start “in a few weeks” to improve lighting at Everton Park. More than 100 people have added their name to a petition to try and convince Liverpool Council to put lighting in place at the green space.
Everton Park has been blighted by anti-social behaviour throughout this year, with a burned-out motorbike and graffiti left at the Netherfield Road area of the public space. The Friends of Everton Park (FoEP) group reached out to Merseyside Police and Liverpool Council in a bid to bring the vandalism to an end.
