'How waterfront can become world's best'

AMBITIOUS PLANS TO TRANSFORM 10KM RIVERFRONT

- By LIAM THORP

LIVERPOOL waterfront will be "completely transformed" in what is being dubbed the biggest change to the world-famous coastline in a generation.

Earlier this week, the ECHO revealed hugely ambitious plans from Liverpool City Council to revitalise the city's 10km waterfront, with plans for new walking routes, parks and even a beach to line the stretch of the city running from Otterspool in the south to Everton's new Hill Dickinson Stadium in the north - along the banks of the River Mersey.

The aim is to reconnect the city with its famous waterfront, making it safer, healthier and more accessible for all.

The new vision centres around a new Merseyfront Walkway, described as a continuous "green ribbon" that would connect the waterfront from Otterspool in the south to the new Hill Dickinson Stadium in the north.

The council said this would act as a "social, ecological, and active-travel backbone for the city."
