Liverpool Council Updates Everton Stadium Parking Ahead Final Test

Liverpool City Council has revised the parking regulations surrounding Everton FC's new Hill Dickinson Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock following feedback from local residents, businesses, and fans. The Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO), covering an area within a 30-minute walk of the stadium, was initially introduced for test events earlier this year but was paused due to community concerns. Key changes effective from August 4 include new non-event-day parking restrictions in industrial zones, extended waiting limits from one to four hours on non-event days, additional parking bays including new blue badge bays, and improved street lighting and pedestrian signage. Event days are defined as those with over 10,000 attendees, but the council may apply event-day rules to smaller events or events at nearby venues like Goodison Park and Anfield to better manage parking. Clear signage will indicate when restrictions apply, and residents and businesses have been informed about how to apply for permits, with larger applications handled individually. These updates aim to balance traffic management with community needs ahead of the final test event and the 2025/26 Premier League season.
