Anfield Road Closure Sparks Debate | Liverpool News

Liverpool FC is set to permanently close a section of Anfield Road — a move that’s sparked outrage after years of misleading promises. Once slated to reopen for cars post-expansion in 2024, the road has only allowed pedestrians and cyclists since 2019. The club now cites security fears, backed by police, citing vehicle attack threats under the current national terror alert. They claim the change will improve crowd flow and safety, but locals see it as a betrayal — accusing the club of never intending to restore car access, instead pushing for a pedestrian-only zone. Critics also highlight the loss of street trees and parking, including a vital blue-badge spot, without proper risk assessments. The planning committee has postponed a decision pending a site visit, while the club also seeks to extend concert dates into July, promising more artists and a 31-day break for residents.
