A cricket club have tried to calm concerns from neighbours over plans for a football World Cup fanzone.
Sefton Park Cricket Club (SPCC) has lodged an application to Liverpool Council for a premises licence as it proposes to stage two events in the Autumn and Winter in a bid to raise vital funds. Among its proposals is an Oktoberfest-style German beer festival beginning later this month.
The cricket club, which has been situated within the popular South Liverpool park for more than a century, is also proposing to screen matches from the football World Cup to be held in November and December on the Lower Cricket Playing Field towards Mossley Hill Drive. The bid, heard by members of Liverpool Council’s licensing and gambling sub-committee this afternoon, has been scaled down after initial proposals sought to operate until the New Year.
