Anfield residents are having their say on a new vision to improve the quality of housing and create new opportunities within the 'COBRA' neighbourhood, the Liverpool Express reports.

The city council is undertaking an independent Neighbourhood Renewal Assessment (NRA) for the area, which is bounded by Oakfield, Breck Road, Oakfield Road and Walton Breck Road in Anfield and contains around 570 properties.

The NRA is gathering evidence about physical and social conditions within the neighbourhood and arrive at options on how to build a stronger, more sustainable future for the area.


The city council is keen that the community is fully involved in the NRA, and local people were given the chance to share their ideas at a community planning event at the Anfield Breckside Community Corner l (ABCC), Richmond Park.

The event was facilitated by the Council and its consultants Pennington Choices and Triangle Architects. Representatives from local social housing providers Riverside Housing and Your Housing Group were also in attendance.

The council is now pulling together all comments received at the event – from quality of housing and shops to environmental and public realm improvements – to be fed into the draft NRA report. The report will be completed in March, before being shared will the local residents at the COBRA Stakeholders meeting in the Spring.
