SCHEME WILL REVAMP MARKET & CREATE NEW COMMUNITY

- By DAVID HUMPHREYS

NEW housing with a revitalised historic market at its heart will form the first phase of a multi-million pound new town plan for north Liverpool.

It was revealed last year that Liverpool city council put forward a submission for New Town status to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government to expand the northern fringe of the city into Sefton.

The new development - to be known as Liverpool North - would span around three miles from just north of Liverpool city centre, across Everton, Anfield and Kirkdale and into Bootle.

The city council has now approved a spend of around £5m to kickstart the scheme that could create new homes and transport upgrades.
