Liverpool City Council is looking to create a ‘Football Match Parking Zone’ around Everton Football Club’s new stadium, at Bramley-Moore Dock.
A report to the Council’s Cabinet next Tuesday, 8 October is recommending a raft of new measures surrounding the 52,888 seater stadium, similar to what is in place around Goodison Park and Anfield.
The focus of the proposed parking zone covers the area within a 30-minute walk of Everton Stadium, which will encompass the surrounding Ten Streets district and into the city centre.
A series of recommendations, which have been subject to a public consultation, includes:
- New resident parking areas
- New taxi ranks
- New match day bus stands
- New parking restrictions
- New hours of operation for existing parking zones for the Great Homer Street area
- New hours of operation for existing parking zones for the Ten Streets and Love Lane areas
- New industrial parking zone south of Boundary Street
- New industrial parking zone north of Boundary Street
The overall aim of the new Parking Zone is to reduce congestion, improve air quality, safety and journey times to and from the stadium. The proposals have also been designed to complement the planned modernisation of parking across the city centre.
