Everton boosted by statement of support for docks stadium

I'm not sure of how many reds we can count on for support, so let's hope that every single Evertonian adds their voice to the public consultation.

I'm sure I'm not alone in receiving daily email updates from the People's Project site where ALL Evertonians really should complete the survey to back this.

Each day they are rolling out a new face and voice to speak, primarily, of the benefits to the city, not exclusively to the club.

This has included Everton fans, Everton players, a Liverpool player (!!!) and business leaders, with more to come, I'm sure.

It may be as fast moving as an iceberg for some, but all this groundwork will stand us in good stead when we finally submit our planning proposal.

To object you need valid reasons, and no one is putting anything forward. Best they can come up with is the threat to the world heritage status.

Keep up the good work and maybe try to find someone to pay for it while your at it.

At the heart of that statement is the essence of good development and meaningful public and stakeholder consultation: when applicants listen, the planning process is shorter, the plans are improved and they are more likely to succeed.

Why Community Consultation Matters

I also think support will increase and even by reds.

Peel are a crucial part of investment in the city and their support is vital.

It is impossible for me to just be non partisan here but surely those who are must look over at East Manchester and see the ripple effect there.

This is our equivalent and north Liverpool will change positively beyond belief.

Believe folks.

And on wider issue that Scudamore petition now near 50,000!

Happy to post link again if anyone interested. Word is some have paid money to make it higher in search results.

Thanks to Google and you two, I have achieved that today.

I bow!

Dermot, I found the following a nice read for a layman like me - an explanation of quantum theory using cartoons (my level!):

And will our local council get a chance to make a few bob and thus ease, in some small way, our community charge? Will they fuck ! It's thank you, Mr Mayor, but we have our 'stakeholders' to consider and most of their funds benefit cronies and shadowy autocrats who inhabit a world far away.

Perhaps I'm on my own but Everton has sold its soul and it no longer bothers me where they ply their trade if only to provide the supporting cast for other 'foreign owned' clubs – one of which is not far away!

I'm not known for being a physicist but for my uncanny ability to sense the feelings of others.

I sense you're not happy about something. :-)

The fact that Everton are proposing to have a new ground in the area must be a godsend to those wishing the development to happen.

I predict this area will be unrecognizable in 5-10 years time and an amazing part of the expanding city.

Did the people of Merseyside have a say on the building of Liverpool One? Did they have say on the Hundreds of student building across the city? the retail park on Scotland Road?

Confused Blue.

Caution all if commuting in or out of Oslo...

The regeneration plans are key to enhancing Liverpool's economic prowess for the future, and competing on at least an equal par with other provincial cities.

The potential is huge but, as we all know, there's a long way to go.

Let's see what pans out in the next few weeks, but hopefully all good and positive feedback will be received from all.

Wassup, mate? Forget to take the happy pills today?

Long time since lived there but have visited quite a lot over the 32 years since living in Australia. Some good work has been done with the city development but it still seems to lag behind others to some extent.

IMO, the whole project, including Bramley-Moore Dock, will make a massive difference to the city... in fact, I'd say to Merseyside in general. This will be a "goer"! — and Everton will have its new stadium!

It's absolute b.s. Somebody ate too many mushrooms.

TY Dermot for mentioning you went all Batman style, "TO THE INTERNET!"

I did the same.

I'm no expert myself, but I am reassured by the amount of work the club is visibly doing on this, and also that they are doing everything needed to make sure this does not fail. Which, after previous aborted stadium developments (even though I only supported the Kings Dock), we need to see.

Let's not forget that the Destination Kirkby fiasco was not Blue Union winning and Everton FC accepting they were doing the wrong thing; it was the Government "calling in" the project and then the club called it off. Sure, I think the club saw this as an "out" that would save face, and didn't want to build the stadium there after all.

But we need to learn a lesson and make sure that we have done everything properly with regards to this stadium, so if that means public consultation, then great, let's do it properly. And don't forget this is only a distraction whilst other work (financing, design, planning applications and so on) goes on in the background.
