Everton to hold second stadium consultation

Everton will host a second round of stadium consultations this summer.

Taking place between July 26 and August 25, the latest public proposals will include prospective designs of the Blues’ new home at Bramley-Moore Dock.

Plans for the future of the Goodison Park site are also set to be discussed in addition to views on transport, accessibility and environmental sustainability.

Feedback from the latest round of consultations will be included in planning applications for both Goodison and the proposed new 52,000-capacity stadium.

Professor Denise Barrett-Baxendale, Everton’s CEO, said: “This is a golden opportunity for our club to deliver real and tangible transformational change for our city.

“This is a capital project that will deliver much more than a new home for Everton Football Club.

“It is a critical, civic regeneration project, that will create jobs and opportunities for more than 15,000 people across our city region.

“Our proposals will drive the city’s inclusive growth agenda and, in addition to our stadium spend, kick-start a £650m investment into regenerating our northern waterfront.

“The People’s Project benefits our entire city region and therefore we would encourage as many people as possible – and not just football fans – to take part in our public consultation exercise so we can hear their views.”

Over 20,000 people took part in Everton’s first consultation, with an ‘overwhelming’ majority backing the proposed move to Bramley-Moore Dock.
