Locals criticize Everton Park's maintenance in Liverpool

Everton Park in Liverpool, known for its scenic views, is facing criticism from locals for poor maintenance. Residents report litter, graffiti, and unkempt grass, expressing embarrassment for visitors. They call for increased council investment to improve the park's condition. Liverpool City Council defends its efforts, stating it spends over £6 million annually on parks and has allocated an additional £3 million for refurbishments. Plans include upgrades to playgrounds and pathways, with £250,000 specifically for Everton Park. Upcoming changes include the reintegration of Liverpool Streetscene Services into direct council oversight by 2025. New projects, such as a cycle track and playground improvements, aim to enhance the park's appeal and accessibility.
