To say that it won't have any effect on people in areas like Anfield isn't true. Developments like these bring people into the city who spend money which goes into the Liverpool economy, therefore creating more money that can be spent in areas like Anfield.
It isn't like there's nothing going on in the outlying areas of the city. There is new housing for local people being built in places like norris green, kensington and toxteth which also include community centres and improved security like CCTV and better lighting. There are also massive projects such as the Great Homer St project in Everton and the complete transformation of Anfield and Breckfield. These will refurbish existing houses and build brand new homes. They will also create hundreds of jobs and improve the environment and facilities for local residents.
Any news like this is great news for everyone in the city. It also helps to improve local peoples' opinoins of Liverpool and can create a sense of pride and confidence in our city.
Do you believe they will channel money into these areas? i doubt it will be much.
Rumour has it that LFC are footing the bill to improve areas of Anfield.
Will these people who live in Stanley dock ever visit these areas(apart from football)
LFC aren't funding any of the regeneration in Anfield. They are funding the stadium and imrovements to the park. The regeneration of the area around the park is being funded by the council, NWDA, EU funding and govt money.
All this aside, getting private companies to fund regeneration isn't anything new. Cities all over the world have done this for years. This can be the best way of doing it, as private companies often have alot more money.
As i said Rumour has it about the LFC funding. still the rumour has stuck all the years the new ground has been on the agenda and nothing has been done in the area in all that time.
hmmmmmmmn
Dont know how you will reply but it took me to prompt you on it while your going on about how grand it be will when its all done..Shame on you.
It was impossible to do anything until LFC finalised their plans and confirmed exactly what the plan was going to be. It would be pointless refurbishing empty houses only to find out that LFC wanted to demolish them.
Some work has actually been done. Some of the 60's houses across the road from the stadium have been extensively refurbished.
Isn't that how this works? You talk about an issue, which leads to other issues being raised which you then talk about. If you look on the main Urban Developments page you will see a post that I placed called Outside City Centre, where I asked people to show images of projects outside the city centre and to talk about them.
