Liverpool City Council has unveiled a plan to improve the historical retail heart of the Walton district in the north of the city and has secured £1m to start the project.
The money was awarded by the Liverpool City Region Town Centre Fund and will go towards the development of a 10-year masterplan for Walton’s County District.
The area encompasses the district centre of County and Walton Road, in the County and Kirkdale wards, close to the football stadiums of Anfield and Goodison Park – the latter of which is expected to undergo a mixed-use redevelopment once Everton Football Club relocates to a new stadium to be constructed at Bramley-Moore Dock.
