Liverpool Grove Transformation Scheme

Overview

Tell us what you think about proposals for transforming Liverpool Grove.

In Spring 2021 we shared with you an initial proposal for transforming Liverpool Grove and asked for your views, to see how the proposal met objectives and what could be improved.

You told us:

• 86% agreed the proposal would make Liverpool Grove a more pleasant and attractive place
• 81% agreed the proposal would make Liverpool Grove cleaner, greener and safer
• 85% agreed the proposal would enhance the view of St Peter’s Church
• 77% agreed the proposal would support local businesses
• 79% agreed the proposal would make walking and cycling safer
• 76% agreed the proposal would benefit local residents
• 65% agreed with the parking changes to accommodate the proposal
• 78% agreed with the changed vehicle access via Portland Street.

However, you also highlighted some key ways the proposals could be improved to work better for the community. These included:

• Ensuring proposals do not attract anti-social behaviour, and considering lighting, CCTV and seating arrangements
• Consider impact of parking displacement on nearby streets
• Maintaining access for emergency services, and vehicle access for Malvern House.
• Prioritising pedestrian safety
• Better alignment of the plan to complement the view of St Peter’s Church
• Supporting local business requirements such as loading.

Using this feedback we have made changes to improve the proposals so they work better for local people. We now want to hear your views on whether you support these changes and if you think they further support the objectives of the scheme. You can download a plan of the proposed design here.
