Anfield's Ghost Town!

Anonymous
22 March 2012

Life in the Rockfield Triangle area of Anfield has been a living hell for local people, they've had to endure everything: neighbours from hell, gangs, drug addicts, drug dealers, arson on an almost daily basis, prostitution, armed sieges, burnt out cars, stolen motorbikes, car crime multiple times a day, criminal damage, theft, assaults and even murders.
_"What I have seen has convinced me more than ever that urgent change is needed"
Quote; Channel 4's Great British Property Scandal presenter George Clarke.

Tinned up houses and deserted streets have become a magnet to gangs of youths, thieves, opportunist scrap metal dealers and thugs who generally behave anti-socially to all who cross their path or dare to object.

The residents of the Rockfield Triangle are normal families who have be subjected to years of mental and physical suffering, anguish and humiliation - they have been threatened and verbally abused on numerous occasions causing stress and fear.

As residents of a derelict area next to such a famous football stadium the local people face daily embarrassment and humiliation - vast amounts of visitors and fans constantly take photographs of the empty houses while pointing and laughing at the remaining residents seemingly petty existence. Visitors have been overheard  accusing the “residents” of holding the club to ransom by not moving out.


Over the years, LFC bought up properties in Lothair Road, Alroy Road, Lake Street, Tinsley Street, Rockfield Road, Walton Breck Road and Anfield Road – all immediately surrounding the stadium – but these PROPERTIES were left in a premeditated process of MANAGED decline. The area became the target of vandals, car crime, scrap metal thieves and arsonists WHO ACTED WITH IMPUNITY, causing misery to the few residents who remain. While the issues of crime detection and crime reduction are not LFC's or Arena housing's per sa, but by being secretive about what properties they owned and by not securing and maintaining those properties effectively, they provided easy targets for lawlessness and anti-social behaviour.

Every Action has an Equal and Opposite Reaction - Sir Issac Newton

Liverpool City Council, LFC and Arena/Your Housing provided the perfect long term opportunity to vandals, opportunist and organised thieves and more life threatening - arsonists who decimated some of the properties. Over a six year period, the fire service attended 14 separate fires in Lothair Road alone - the highest statistic in the UK. Official figures do not include fires that the residents of Lothair Road have extinguished through their own quick-thinking and resourcefulness. Fires which did not require the fire service and therefore have not been officially logged.

Regeneration or Utter Destruction?

Empty housing levels should never have been allowed to escalate to extraordinary heights and the measures taken to address the problems have been too few and too far between. Why have Liverpool City Council properties, Arena Housing properties, and Liverpool Football Club properties in the Rockfield Triangle, been left "deliberately" boarded up for so many years?


Originally, there had been nothing wrong with many of these homes - yet they were tinned-up and have remained tinned-up for almost a decade and a half.

WHY is that? Did we miss something?

We are not unreasonable residents, who are holding LFC to ransom in the hope of a big pay day, and we are not standing in the way of progress because there has been no progress in the Rockfield Triangle. These are our homes; our children were born and bred here, this is still our neighbourhood and after all tha we  have had to endure for more than a decade; they deserve better.

1. LFC need land and over the last decade or so they've been buying as much as possible. They have added to the dereliction and abandoned look of the area by keeping scores of their properties unoccupied, boarded up and ill maintained. Over the years, LFC bought up a number of properties on both sides of Lothair Road (not just immediately behind the main stand) – but they were left to fall into decay and dereliction. The road became the target of vandals and arsonists, with 16 (not 14) separate fires in the properties over six years, causing misery to the few residents who remained. LFC land - banking dates back to David Moores' time at the club, it was adopted by H&G and until recently still existed under FSG. Someone at LFC took the decision to do this and until recently they continued to do it. LFC and FSG know how to play the "media" game - with sound bites and PR men neatly avoiding the fact that for many years they have been land-banking properties in the area therefore they played a part in creating or at least adding to the blighted problem.
2. Arena Housing (Your Housing) who are Registered Social Landlords (RSL) with a Corporate Social Responsibility, own possibly the largest number of empty properties in Lothair Road . 2a. Why is a government funded housing association with a corporate social responsibility charter - allowed to actually negate that responsibility by boarding up and neglecting their properties over a very long period of time? Arena have in the recent past, said that they won't spend money fixing their properties because LFC might want to demolish them! 2b. Has that been Arena's policy for the past 10 - 15 years? 2c. How can Liverpool football club's indecision dictate a government funded housing association's policy?
3. Liverpool City Council own properties in Lothair Road but beyond that, they hold immense power when it comes to procedures for dealing with long term empty properties. These procedures enable the council to force owners to think about the long term future of their EMPTY properties and to bring them back into use - yet not one (as far as I am aware) of these many blighted properties which are an eyesore and have had a negative effect on the neighbourhood and its residents, has had such measures implemented upon it.
