The Chief Executive of Everton Football Club has thanked everyone who has given their views during the second stage of The People’s Project public consultation.
Professor Denise Barrett-Baxendale hailed the “incredible” response and enthusiasm from the public across Liverpool city region to the Club’s proposals for a state-of-the-art 52,000-seater stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock and a community-led regeneration project at Goodison Park.
The People’s Project second stage public consultation, held between 26 July and 25 August, ends the formal process which, following evaluation of the public feedback, will lead to the submission of a detailed planning application for Bramley-Moore Dock and an outline planning application for Goodison Park by the end of this year.
For the last month, residents across Merseyside have had the opportunity to visit a series of roadshows across the city region to understand Everton’s latest proposals, as well as being able to experience a stunning VR fly-through of the stadium. At the roadshow, visitors were able to answer a survey on all aspects of both schemes and, for anyone who could not attend in person, the exhibition information and survey were made available online at peoples-project.co.uk. For residents living around Bramley-Moore Dock and Goodison Park, a consultation brochure was sent out with a survey that could be returned by freepost.
Professor Barrett-Baxendale said: “The response to our second public consultation has been incredible. There has been real interest in the plans and a genuine enthusiasm for what we are proposing from across the city and the wider city region.
“Everyone at Everton is truly grateful to all those who have taken their time to visit the roadshow, fill out the online survey or written in to let us know their thoughts on the Bramley-Moore Dock and Goodison Park legacy proposals.
“Since the start of this project, we have tried to leave no stone unturned in our quest to make this project the very best it can be and, from the outset, the view of Evertonians and the public has been central to our thinking and planning. We have also always made it clear that The People’s Project is more than the construction of a new home for the Club on the waterfront, but also about helping to unlock other regeneration projects in the area and especially in Liverpool 4.
“We want a stadium that is right for Everton and our supporters, for its dockland setting and for Liverpool city region, but our ambition is also very much to provide a catalyst for the transformation of north Liverpool, to create something new that sits alongside ours and the city’s rich heritage and something at Goodison Park that is community-led, sustainable and will help Liverpool 4.
"Through this project we are determined to deliver a significant economic, societal and cultural boost for the entire city region, to create new opportunities, jobs and visitor appeal.
“What has been particularly pleasing is hearing positive comments on our proposals and plans from a wide range of people - not just Everton fans, but fans of other clubs, as well as people with little interest in football. We have also held workshops with residents and businesses and met with a huge number of senior political, civic and community leaders.
“Everybody’s views, both on the stadium and the community-led regeneration plans for Goodison Park, are vital in helping us to finalise our planning submissions."
During the consultation, the massive economic and social benefits of The People’s Project, which includes building on and expanding the work of the Club’s charity, Everton in The Community, were revealed in two independent reports.
Research carried out by international property consultancy CBRE indicates The People’s Project would deliver a £1billion boost to the city’s economy and the potential for up to 15,000 new jobs and £34million of local income to local families. Annual council tax receipts would be boosted by more than £2.2million and there would be an uplift of up to £1.7million in business rate income. Finally, it is estimated an additional 1.4 million visitors would be attracted to the city.
A report by RealWorth, socio-economic specialists, estimates that the three elements of The People’s Project will generate £793.4million of societal value between 2024 and 2033, compared to £556million generated solely through Everton in the Community activity, a difference of more than £237million.
Furthermore, new figures have shown that some 145,000 people took part in activities led by Everton in the Community between May 2018 and June 2019, delivering life-saving and life-changing programmes to some 20,000 vulnerable and underprivileged people.
Earlier this year, Michael Heseltine, former Deputy Prime Minister and long-term champion of Liverpool’s regeneration, described the Club’s plans as a "golden opportunity to bring lasting change to the north of the city".
Colin Chong, Everton’s stadium development director, added: “There was a real buzz just over a month ago in anticipation of the proposed stadium design being revealed and I feel confident in saying that expectations of something iconic and distinctive have been met.
“There is no doubt that the input from across the city region and a wide spectrum of people has helped this process and we are very grateful for that. We will continue to seek views and support from fans and stakeholders as we continue this journey that will transform north Liverpool and give the Club a platform for growth on and off the pitch.
“The public consultation may now be over, but we still have much work to do to realise our ambition and to ensure that what we have proposed, and what has been asked for, becomes reality.”
The results from the second stage public consultation will be analysed over the next few weeks and fed into the stadium design team before being publicly revealed. The Club remain on track to submit planning applications for both sites before the end of the year.

- More than 43,000 people respond to second stage public consultation. - Largest commercial public consultation in the history of the city of Liverpool. - 63,207 responses received across both stages of public consultation. - Full results to be announced in November ahead of the submission of planning applications before the end of the year. More than 43,000 people responded to Everton Football Club’s second stage public consultation into proposals for a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock and a community-led legacy project at Goodison Park. The response, double that of the first stage public consultation, makes The People’s Project the largest commercial public consultation in the city of Liverpool’s history and one of the largest ever held in the UK. Across the two public consultations the Club received more than 63,000 responses, with Everton’s commitment to engagement and consultation having already been hailed as exemplary by leading experts in civic engagement, sports business and marketing. The results from the second stage consultation, which will be released in November, will be used by the Stadium Development Team to further refine the Club’s plans and form part of the planning applications for both Bramley-Moore Dock and Goodison Park. The Club remains on-track to submit both applications before the end of 2019. Under ‘The People’s Project’ brand the Club held their public consultation in two stages – November/December 2018 and July/August 2019 - generating the huge response from fans and residents from across Liverpool City Region and beyond, all offering their thoughts on the Club’s ambitious plans. The first stage public consultation saw 20,168 people respond, with 94% of people agreeing that Bramley-Moore Dock was an appropriate site for the new stadium and 95% backing Everton’s plans for a community-led led legacy at Goodison Park. During July and August, 43,039 people took part in the second stage public consultation, which included a 19-day roadshow, visiting nine locations across all six Liverpool City Region boroughs. The consultation focused on the designs for a new 52,000 capacity stadium and the plans for transport, heritage and the environment as part of the project. The consultation also outlined design proposals for a community-led legacy project on the site of Everton’s current Goodison Park home. The roadshow events were attended by more than 15,000 people and included a popular virtual reality experience giving users a chance to fly over the new stadium and place themselves in the centre circle and home stand on matchdays. In addition to the events, the Club also received responses through dedicated digital channels as well as a postal survey for residents living around Bramley-Moore Dock and Goodison Park. Colin Chong, Everton’s Stadium Development Director said: “The interest and enthusiasm for The People’s Project has resulted in an unprecedented response to the consultation. We’re grateful to the thousands of Evertonians, fans of other clubs and people that don’t have an interest in football who took part and shared their views with us. “We have been busy working our way through the tens of thousands of comments and ideas and analysing the results which will inform our proposals as we progress to submitting our planning applications before the end of the year. “We’ve been really pleased with the scale of response and how our approach to engagement and public consultation on this project has been recognised as exemplar by industry experts.” Top: The opening day of the second stage People's Project consultation.

They indicate that The People’s Project would deliver a £1billion boost to the city’s economy, the potential to create up to 15,000 jobs with £34 million of income going to local families and an extra 1.4 million new visitors attracted to the city on an annual basis. It is estimated the Club (including the new stadium and Goodison Legacy Project) would be delivering £793.4 million of societal value between 2024 and 2033, compared to £556 million generated solely through Everton in the Community activity, showing how the new stadium and community-led legacy would deliver an additional £237 million of social value to the Liverpool City Region.

Everton can submit a planning application for their new ground at Bramley-Moore Dock before the end of the year 'with confidence', according to chief executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale.
The second phase of public consultation revealed that 96 per cent of more than 43,000 responses supported plans for a new stadium and community-led legacy project at Goodison Park, with an even higher approval rating for the stadium design itself.
'This is a really important milestone and having the level of support we have from the Liverpool City Region public means we can submit for planning before the end of this year with confidence,' said Baxendale-Barrett
