Views sought on Anfield improvement plans

Liverpool City Council has previously published images of its vision for the area

Residents, businesses, and road users are being asked for their views on £5m plans to transform an area around Liverpool FC's Anfield stadium.

The proposals are part of a wider regeneration effort by Liverpool City Council to create "a greener, safer, and more inclusive high street".

The proposals cover Walton Breck Road, Oakfield Road, Pulford Street, Back Rockfield Road, and Gilman Street, Liverpool City Council said.

Dan Barrington, the Cabinet Member for Transport and Connectivity, said the improvements "will help knit together the community, support local businesses, and ensure the area continues to thrive as part of our long-term regeneration plans".

A public consultation runs until 22 August

Key features include plans for improved pedestrian routes, new landscaping, updated street lighting and reconfigured on-street parking.

There are also plans for a new mini-roundabout at the junction of Walton Breck Road and Oakfield Road, reduced road widths, and speed limits to calm traffic.

The council said the scheme would also support matchday operations and was part of a wider £250m investment in the Anfield area which included over 600 new homes and upgrades to Anfield Stadium.

Councillor Nick Small, Cabinet Member for Growth and Economy, said the scheme "reflects the voices and needs of our residents".

"From better lighting and safer crossings to new green spaces and improved accessibility, this project is a direct response to what people have told us they want to see.

"I encourage everyone to take part in the consultation and help shape the future of Walton Breck Road."

People are being asked to share their thoughts in an online survey, or to attend a drop in event in at The Liverpool Lighthouse on Oakfield Road on 13 August.

The consultation closes on 22 August 2025.
