Liverpool City Council Cabinet is set to approve £1.5 million in funding to enhance street lighting in the Bramley Moore Dock area, aimed at improving the experience of fans and visitors around Everton’s new Hill Dickinson Stadium. Stakeholders and residents raised concerns about poor street lighting levels during recent test events and the first two competitive matches at the stadium, particularly on routes from the City Centre, transport hubs, and surrounding neighborhoods.
If approved at the meeting on Tuesday, September 16, the lighting project will involve upgrading approximately 600 lanterns to modern, dimmable LEDs and replacing 164 existing lighting columns. The project will be phased, focusing on pedestrian links between the stadium, Sandhills station, the City Centre, and Everton Park. It will increase lighting levels for events at the stadium and adjust light levels to appropriate standards when there are no events.
Councillor Dan Barrington, Cabinet Member for Transport and Connectivity, highlighted how Everton’s new stadium has brought vibrancy and economic opportunity to Liverpool’s waterfront. However, the original lighting around Bramley Moore Dock was designed over a decade ago before the stadium project existed. The lighting specification at the time met the needs of the area, which was classified as low-traffic with limited pedestrian and event footfall. Following recent feedback from local residents and businesses, advances in LED technology and a new central management system will allow for a targeted, long-term solution to improve lighting in the area.
By fast-tracking these upgrades, the aim is to ensure well-lit streets that provide a safer environment for all who live, work, and visit this part of the city. The project will not only enhance the experience of fans and visitors attending events at the stadium but also improve overall safety and visibility in the surrounding areas
