Work To Remediate

22 acres of the city’s Festival Gardens site is nearing completion after a complex two-year excavation programme.

This mammoth job saw the derelict land – which hadn’t been touched for 25 years – completely excavated, removing more than 380,000 cubic metres of soil and waste.

Now that remediation is nearing completion, Liverpool City Council is seeking to appoint a multidisciplinary consultant team to help it prepare a development brief for the residential-led redevelopment of Festival Gardens.

The brief will set out the council’s aspirations to create a “thriving, sustainable, healthy and inclusive new neighbourhood for South Liverpool with a strong identity and sense of community”.

Councillor Nick Small, Liverpool’s cabinet member for growth and economy, says: “The work undertaken to reach this milestone should not be underestimated, but our focus has been on getting everything right as we need to future-proof this land and make sure it’s fit for purpose for generations to come.

“We look forward to moving on to the next phase and taking a step closer to this game-changing development.”

LOCATED JUST 10 MILES from the centre of Liverpool and only a few short minutes from schools, shops and amenities, Persimmon Homes’ new Summerhill Park development is perfectly situated for anyone seeking an ideal work/life balance in Merseyside.

Phase 1 of the scheme features a choice of two, three, four and five bedroom homes (£187,995 to £379,995) – all incorporating a modern open plan kitchen/dining room, downstairs WC and family bathroom.

One of the main draws of Summerhill Park is ease of access when it comes to travelling in the local area. Maghull train station is just a few minutes drive away, and operates regular direct links to Liverpool’s Moorfields station.

Though the bright lights of the city are within easy reach, the scheme is also ideally situated for families of all ages. There are several schools less than a mile from the development – Summerhill Primary School, Northway Primary School and Deyes High School, all rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. You’ll find a number of nurseries in the vicinity too, and for further education, there’s Deyes Sixth Form, as well as several colleges in Crosby and Sefton.

With the addition of scenic countryside and sandy beaches nearby, Summerhill Park has much to offer first-time buyers, growing families and downsizers.

For existing homeowners, Persimmon will also take your old house off you in part exchange and make you an offer within seven days.
