What's Happening In Your Area?

Why has my area been chosen for development?

The City Centre North Zone has been affected by a huge migration away from the area over the past 50 years. Although extensive new social housing was constructed in the 1960's and 1970's, insufficient private sector housing was built and has led to depopulation of the area by those wishing to purchase properties as owner occupiers. The need to redevelop the area is further influenced by the large amount of vacant land, which is currently not put to any use.

Key strategic routes run through the Zone, the main one being the Stanley Road corridor. This links the City Centre North Zone with South Sefton, which is another area that has suffered from similar housing market decline.

What is happening?

The programme for City Centre North is in its early stages, with strategies currently being developed to regenerate the area. Lead RSL, Liverpool Housing Trust, and developer David Wilson Homes are now in place, along with neighbourhood teams to help engage the community and take these plans forward.

We aim to improve the area, by clearing the worst of the housing, building new homes and refurbishing some existing properties in the more sustainable neighbourhoods, to create greater choice and modern standards.

How long will all this take?

The re-development of City Centre North is an integral part of the whole regeneration process for North Liverpool and is expected to be a long process.
