Ring Of Fire

A number of houses have been and others will be demolished to make way for the expansion of LFC's stadium - see Rings of FIRE map.

Over the years, LFC bought up MANY of 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.

MD Ayre "The increase in revenue from the extra capacity would help put the Reds on a level playing field with major Premier League clubs such as Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea."

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.
The council's assistant director for regeneration, Mark Kitts, told the Guardian (Thursday 31 May 2012 ) that the demolitions would make the number of houses more "sustainable" and allow for refurbishment. Kitts said Liverpool FC have confirmed, in discussions with the council, that these demolitions would meet the club's requirements.

"We have been working with the club very closely," Kitts said, "and they have said this will accommodate their needs if they stay at Anfield and refurbish the current stadium."

Liverpool's main physical difficulty expanding Anfield is not in enlarging the footprint, because their plan is understood to involve adding an extra tier, plus corporate facilities, to the Anfield Road and main stands.


Building high, however, would block neighbouring residents' "right to light". Kitts, discussing the planned demolitions, told the Guardian: "My understanding is that this will solve the right to light issues."

Ann O'Byrne, the council's cabinet member for housing, said its priority is to "regenerate the area" for residents and she confirmed that Liverpool FC had said they could "work with" these demolition plans.

Building a brand new stadium was always not just about the football club but about trying to improve physically a sunken area and to generate a working economy. It was the conclusion reached after a painful process sparked by uproar when those original 1999 plans were exposed, involving an expanded Anfield, a commercial area for the club in the same corner proposed to be cleared now and the demolition of 1,800 homes about which no resident had been consulted.

Mayor Anderson said that while the club finalised its plans, the council would continue to invest in refurbishing hundreds of houses in the area, but warned that there was a chance that some properties may need to be compulsory purchased in order to allow the Reds to enhance the ground.

The progress of the development is likely to be sped up by the fact that social landlords Your Housing, formerly Arena, owns a number of properties in the streets that are most likely to be affected – Lothair Road, Alroy Road and Sybil Road. Some of these properties may need to be demolished if the club plans to expand its current footprint.  Read more: Liverpool Echo
