Joint Stadium Needs Transport Infrastructure 

Dear Editor
 
In the local press Cllr Warren Bradley has advocated a joint stadium for LFC and Everton.(Daily Post Letters, Liverpool Echo News) 
Of course there would be great cost savings to the two clubs to do so
 
However that must be the prime choice of the clubs themselves, as they would have to manage the commercial arrangements of managing any joint stadium
 
What this debate does show is the cavalier fashion in which the council has dealt with the issue of building a stadium of 60,000 and potential of nearer 75,000 on Stanley Park, in one of the most densely populated parts of the city
 
Cllr Bradley talks about the new stadium having the infrastructure. Has he even looked at the inability of the road system around Anfield to deal with the current LFC congestion ?.
 
The fact is that the new Stadium, whether for LFC or both Clubs ,will condemn the whole of the Anfield ,Walton. Clubmoor and Tuebrook Areas to utter gridlock
 
There is no railway nor motorway links to the new stadium !
 
Cllr Bradley, please encourage a joint stadium if the clubs want it , but make sure you deliver the prime duty of the council by ensuring it is built on derelict land near the rail and motorway links a new International sized Stadium needs.
 
So far your administration has been totally blind to the lack of infrastructure and been hell bent on building on Stanley Park irrespective of the Traffic and Environmental damage
