Green light for more environmental improvements in Anfield

Liverpool City Council has approved the next phases of the Anfield project, clearing the way for new environmental spaces, as well giving the green light for more new homes and housing refurbishments (April 23rd).Project partner Your Housing Group recently completed the first phase in a £2 million outdoor improvement programme, including tree-lined pedestrian areas, private side gardens and secure compounds for communal waste bins, providing a facility never previously available for residents of homes with restricted-space alleyways.Now, following cabinet approval, the housing provider will deliver more environmental works following the demolition of a number of derelict properties along Blessington Road and will work up designs for more than 20 homes along Breckfield North Road/Robson Street.The Anfield Regeneration Project is a partnership between Liverpool City Council, Your Housing Group, Liverpool Football Club and Keepmoat Homes. With an estimated investment of £255m, more than 600 new and 600 refurbished homes have already been delivered.With Keepmoat’s planning application for a further 86 homes, and Your Housing Group proposing more homes to complete the so-called ‘Anfield Village’ area, another 150 new and remodelled homes are projected to be added to the neighbourhood.
