Huyton Cricket Ground’s Future in Focus | Liverpool News

Huyton’s historic cricket pavilion, one of the few 1800s structures still standing, faces a pivotal decision next week: save it or demolish it for 84 new homes.

Though locals fear overcrowding and the loss of a beloved green space, the council is leaning toward approval—with conditions: 10% affordable housing, infrastructure contributions, and clarifying the site isn’t protected green space. A former player calls it a tragedy for Huyton’s heritage, but the council says this is vital to meet Knowsley’s urgent housing needs.
