Everton's Stadium Plans Put Liverpool's UNESCO World Heritage Status At Risk

Liverpool "could lose its World Heritage status if damage to the city’s historic Victorian docks" is caused by plans for Everton’s anticipated new £300M ($389.3M) stadium, which UNESCO has "not yet been officially notified of," according to Ian Herbert of the London TELEGRAPH. The city council last week announced plans for a new £22M ($28.6M) dual carriageway into the city which is "expected to have benefits for developments including the proposed new stadium" at Bramley Moore Dock. But the city -- which has been placed on an "in danger" register for four years by the cultural body because of "major developments within its historic dock" -- may be forced to decide "between adapting the stadium plans to maintain World Heritage status, or foregoing the prestigious title altogether." The issue is a "sensitive one within the city, as there is a reluctance to speak out against plans" for a new Everton stadium -- a development which would be "hugely popular." In defense of Everton's proposals, the city council is "expected to argue that the stadium development will actually enhance the World Heritage Site" by making the Bramley Moore Dock a public area again (TELEGRAPH, 5/5).
