Knowsley Council has launched a consultation seeking the views of the public into future improvements at Stadt Moers Park.

Stadt Moers is Knowsley’s largest municipal park and the council has launched the consultation to help shape plans to develop the park into a vibrant and inspiring destination serving Knowsley residents, and the wider Liverpool City Region.

The consultation will ask for people’s views about how the park could be further improved, including what they think about children’s play and youth facilities, buildings, landscaping, natural habitats, as well as events and activities at the park.

Residents can complete the consultation online before 1 November or they can come along to a series of daytime and evening drop-in sessions during September and October. The drop-in sessions are on:

Tuesday, 16 Sept, 7pm – 9pm: Prescot Community Church, Old Colliery Road, Whiston, L35 3SX

Thursday, 18 Sept, 11am – 3pm: Huyton Leisure and Culture Park, Longview Drive, Huyton, L36 6EG

Saturday, 20 Sept, 9am – 12 noon, Stadt Moers Park Environment Centre, Pottery Lane, Whiston, L35 3RG

Monday, 22 Sept, 7 – 9pm: George Howard Centre, Lickers Lane, Whiston, L35 3SR

Thursday, 25 Sept, 1 – 3pm: The Old School House, St John’s Road, Huyton, L36 0UX

Wednesday, 1 Oct, 7 – 9pm: Stadt Moers Park Environment Centre, Pottery Lane, Whiston, L35 3RG

Information from the consultation will help shape a Masterplan for the park. Details of the Masterplan will be shared during a second consultation phase later this year. The Friends of Stadt Moers Park will be key partners in developing the Masterplan.

Cllr Shelley Powell, Knowsley’s Cabinet Member for Communities and Neighbourhoods said: “We want the park to be a key element in the regeneration of the local area, supporting the quality of life of local residents, bringing communities together, linking them to local amenities and workplaces, as well as delivering social, educational, health and economic benefits to the area.  It is essential that the proposals for the park are shaped by the local residents it is there to serve.”
