Liverpool City Council has partnered with local residents and councillors to revitalize Goschen Street in the Old Swan West area. This collaboration came about following complaints related to fly-tipping and unchecked plant growth. Over the course of two weekends, the team dedicated their efforts to clean up the space, making it both tidier and more accessible for the community.
The restoration involved removing a significant amount of rubbish and trimming back thick vegetation to level the ground. To inhibit the return of weeds, 40 tonnes of bark mulch were spread across the area. This natural barrier not only helps suppress weed growth but also enhances the overall appearance of the site. To finalize the improvements, the fencing panels around the space received a fresh layer of paint.
Ward Councillor William Shortall worked in close coordination with the Council and residents, gathering their ideas and helping to implement the necessary changes. Councillor Laura Robertson-Collins, who serves as Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods, Communities and Streetscene, expressed her satisfaction with the outcome: “I’m pleased to see the vast improvement here. We are determined to clean and green our city and are investing in our frontline services, street cleansing, and greenspace management to do so. Thanks to all for the work on this site and Cllr Shortall for his persistence to improve Old Swan West ward.”
Councillor Shortall also emphasized the value of teamwork in the project, stating, “All residents want a cleaner, green city and listening to my Old Swan West residents’ concerns, I was delighted when our Streetscene service was brought in house. It meant we could work together in a more focused way to achieve so much more, especially in green space management. This work highlights teamwork from residents reporting issues, to councillors working with the Streetscene teams and officers planning work improvements, and the resident then benefiting from those improvements. It’s a win-win for everyone.”
