​Everton continue with public consultation over new stadium

Everton's plans for a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock and a community-led legacy project at Goodison Park will take a major step forward with the launch of a second widescale public consultation on the proposals, reports www.fcbusiness.co.uk

The consultation, which will run between 26 July and 25 August, will seek the views of members of the public on the latest design concepts for a state-of-the-art waterfront stadium, demonstrating how the club will address the historic context of the Bramley-Moore Dock site and outline plans for the future of Goodison Park.

Views from people on transport, accessibility and environmental sustainability will also be sought.

This is the second stage of a formal process and feedback from this consultation will be included in the planning applications for both sites, which are on track to be submitted before the end of the year.

Professor Denise Barrett-Baxendale, Everton's Chief Executive Officer, said it is crucial that as many people as possible give their views during the forthcoming consultation.

This summer's public consultation, held under 'The People's Project' campaign name, marks the second stage of a formal process which began in November 2018.

More than 20,000 people took part in the first consultation, with the overwhelming majority backing the proposed move to Bramley-Moore Dock, part of Peel Land & Property's Liverpool Waters site, and the redevelopment of Goodison Park.

The public consultation will see an exhibition of proposals visiting a range of locations in the Liverpool City Region. More details on the dates and timings of those locations will be announced next month. There will also be a fixed display at Goodison Park for residents living in L4.
