Dear Sir

 

Objection to LFC’s Plans to move into Stanley Park

 

I wish to make an objection to the above planning application.

 

I am a local resident and do not think that anyone at all should be allowed to build on a Victorian grade 11 listed park. This is a valuable community asset, enjoyed by many, and to allow any loss of open space in a densely populated terraced district would be very wrong.

 

I believe that an increase of 15,000 extra fans would bring more anti-social behaviour, disorder, car crime and possibly violence.

 

I also object on the grounds that an increase in traffic will cause congestion and parking problems and will create road safety problems as well as the pollution that this extra traffic would bring. More park and walk sites will bring traffic into an area not able to cope at present.

 

I also object that a large stadium of the size proposed will spoil the present appearance of the park and overshadow the area. The plan to build any development on a park (green open space) is a broken promise by this council and is against their own approved Unitary Development plan. It also contravenes the Government’s policy of building on Greenfield sites, when a brownfield site is available (as at the north docks). Yours sincerely

Sad sad bastards

knobhead.

 

Have to say I'm impressed that some reasoned Blues had a go at him for doing so though. A point they miss is that the park was built on years ago, when they built the Vernon Sangster sports centre. Nobody complained then.

[Anubis]

I didn't realise the Victorian's had used tarmac to create a car park/hard-surface football field. And I didn't realise the Sports Centre was a listed building dating from 1893.

 

You learn something every day.....

"building dating from 1893"

 

No, that's called Goodison

No mate, wrong.

I know I'll get stick for this as the sole advocate of a shared stadium, but I really believe that this stadium in Stanley park will not happen. As soon as there were objections the club should have said "up yours" and built elsewhere. Every season of delay will cost the club £20m in revenue. Another example of the clubs' blinkered board of directors screwing up.

[Nunavut Patrick]

Hermes, if we share a stadium with them they'll be nickin our footballs.

[Steve]

Think Hermes has a valid point there. I disagree over the shared stadium but the board have got to be more pro active in their stance to the council. We have to make it be known that we are doing something positive for the city, after all Stanley Park has been left in neglect for years and we will be repacing the parkland we build on wth more open space. The board need to make it be known that we would look elsewhere if need be, Sefton or Knowsley wold welcome us with open arms.
