Residents demand to know what will happen to regeneration of Anfield after Liverpool FC takeover.

RESIDENTS today said they believed Liverpool FC’s imminent change of ownership could speed up the regeneration of the area around its Anfield home. But others said they feared the boardroom upheaval could set the progress of the community’s housing project back.

Last week’s announcement that a buyer was found for the club was met with a mixture of excitement and apprehension from the community.

Tom Hicks and George Gillett promised a speedy start to the construction of New Anfield when they arrived in 2007. But today there is still no new stadium, and those living in the shadow of the current ground feel they were left in limbo as a result of the indecision about whether Liverpool’s current home would be upgraded or replaced in Grade II-listed Stanley Park.

Liverpool council is pressing ahead with demolishing houses in the “V Streets” immediately outside the ground to progress its housing market renewal plans. But former soldier Russell Start, of Venmore Street, criticised the decision to dismantle houses around him to make room for new ones when other streets around the ground – such as Lake Street – were razed long ago.

While streets such as Skerries Road were successfully regenerated by the club, others, such as Lothair Road, have not enjoyed the same renaissance. Mr Start said: “This is Anfield? This was Anfield, more like. Whatever anyone says, we were absolutely sold the idea the housing regeneration was connected to the club’s plans.

“When we were first told about it, we did not think it was a bad idea and we would be properly remunerated. But then it all started to go a bit crazy, with all these odd houses being bought up left, right and centre.” Mr Smart said he feels uncertainty surrounding the club’s stadium plans was in part responsible for the slow progress of housing regeneration.

But in recent months, demolition has shifted, out of phase, to his streets and he wondered whether the council was trying to force the club’s hand. He said: “It seems like there was a big push towards getting these streets down, because they are key if the club is to stay where it is.

“Why would all those houses be left like they are if the club was going to Stanley Park?”

The revamp of houses in Skerries Road and Tancred Road, as well as the award-winning Isla Gladstone Conservatory, demonstrate the club’s commitment to regeneration, as well as to council and NHS projects. Club chairman Martin Broughton said the club remains committed to the community and he is confident there will be a new 60,000-seat stadium.

Mr Start added: “I would plead with the new owner to look closely to his new neighbours and see what he can do for them, not what his new neighbours can do for him. “The new owners have got to rebuild trust with the community and I would love to be able to speak to them.“They need to be in touch with the residents’ committees – not hostile ones, but ones which will explain to him the history of the area and what people need, so they can part of the process rather than let big business decide what is best.”

Lillian Morgan, 69, lived in Vienna Street and was one of the last to move out when the clearances began. She supports the idea of a Stanley Park stadium “because it would mean shops and a plaza where the stadium is now”.

She said: “They were going to do all these wonderful things but we seem to have just moved from one mess to another. “We just want to know what is going on. We thought we were being moved out because of the new stadium, but it has all been held up so long now. “It never felt like they were committing themselves.

We have not felt like we were kept in touch, so you could not plan for the future.”
