Local ResidentsAnfield Road Update
Update on Anfield Road Closure.
You may be aware that in September 2024 we consulted the community and other key stakeholders on proposals to keep the section of highway at Anfield Road (in the vicinity of the stadium) free from traffic and to retain it as public realm for use by pedestrians and cyclists.
We would like to reiterate that the purpose of this survey is not to re-run the previous consultation. That exercise provided some useful feedback, but before we make any decision on next steps, we need to understand how you have previously used the section of Anfield Road in question, how you use it now and, importantly, what your views are on it remaining closed to traffic.
Please help us understand your views by completing our survey by Thursday 27th March 2025 by one of the following methods:
- Visiting www.anfieldroadsurvey.co.uk and completing the online survey form.
- Completing a hard copy survey form. These can be collected from Anfield Stadium’s reception and dropped off for the attention of Community Liaison Manager.
- Emailing a completed copy of the survey form to contact@anfieldroadsurvey.co.uk
- Posting a copy of the survey form back to us using the below Freepost address (no need to pay for a stamp):

FAQ's
Who owns the road? The portion of Anfield Road within the vicinity of the Stadium is privately owned by LFC, who are solely responsible for the maintenance and management of the road, including the enforcement of the no parking zone.
Why did you choose this design if it is inconvenient for vehicular traffic? The design of the road at that time encompassed recommendations and feedback from Liverpool City The design was also compliant with all Road Safety standards, including width. Traffic calming measures were put in place to ensure vehicular speeds do not negatively impact pedestrians and cyclists, whilst also discouraging use of the road as a through- road by non-residents. With the benefit of more than three years of experience since the road was closed to facilitate construction of the Anfield Road stand in June 2021 , it is evident that it is unnecessary for general traffic to use the road; maintaining it as a pedestrianised zone creates an enhanced environment for cyclists and pedestrians.
Will pedestrians and cyclists still be able to access this portion of Anfield Road? Yes, pedestrians and cyclists will still be able to use the road for commuting and leisure purposes.
What happens after I provide my feedback? Following the close of the survey, we will review all feedback received to help us determine next steps. We will ensure members of the community and local stakeholders are kept informed about the progress and proposed way forward.
