Plans for the regeneration of the Anfield area surrounding Liverpool’s stadium have moved another step forward, with public consultation now the priority.Anfield has undergone significant changes in recent times with the expansion of two stands, but the surrounding area is now the focus for Liverpool City Council.In the middle of last year, there was a consultation on the preliminary design for the Walton Breck Road Highway improvement scheme, which is aimed at creating a greener and safer experience.Walton Breck Road runs parallel to the Kop, and part of the proposal aims to improve walking routes and create wider footpaths, and we now have a visual of what that might look like:The plans show the introduction of free standing concrete planters that are designed to also allow for a temporary rest area for visitors near the stadium, though this may create its own issues.The area is visited by thousands of fans in a short space of time pre and post-match, thus there must be assurances it will not create an unnecessary blockage to a key access point.There are also plans to create a mini-roundabout at the junction of Walton Breck Road, Oakfield Road and Wylva Street, not far from the popular Homebaked.The planned improvements “are designed to create a healthier, greener, and more inclusive high street,” which will also see footpaths and street lights upgraded.After taking on initial public feedback, the full detailed designs can now be viewed, and they include changes to on-street parking, a bigger taxi rank and controlled pedestrian crossings.The council are now seeking the views from those who live, work, travel or use Walton Breck Road on the proposed designs, which you can see and provide feedback on here.Following this consultation stage, the detailed design will be finalised and a contractor will be procured to deliver the changes.As for the Anfield Square, the plot of land opposite the club shop on Walton Breck Road, we are still awaiting the latest development news.
