The newly enforced parking restrictions in the Ten Streets area are damaging to local businesses. For two years, we were told these restrictions would apply only on event days, yet they are now in place 365 days a year.

As the owner of a restaurant in the area, I know firsthand how this will impact trade. Our customers typically stay for two to three hours, but the new 60-minute limit makes it impossible for them to park. This isn’t just an issue for my business—it affects every business around us.

We understand the need for restrictions on match days, but why are they in place when no events are happening? There is no reason to stop people from parking when the area is quiet. This decision will drive customers away and harm local businesses that have invested in this community.

We need the council to revisit these rules immediately and introduce a fairer approach—one that allows businesses to thrive while managing event-day traffic sensibly.

These restrictions will prevent my friends from being able to easily access their work and it will prevent us from being able to Climb at Awesome Walls Liverpool or the Climbing Hangar.

Given we make the trip for those facilities regularly, we would have ti take our climbing group to more accessible locations in Queensferry or Manchester.

These restrictions seem ill thought through and need a reworking to not impact local businesses so severely.

This appears to be an excuse to introduce yet another stealth tax on drivers and individuals who need to travel and park in the area for work. It is almost certain to negatively impact both individuals and businesses. I know people that work nearby and work night shifts that mean there is no public transport to fall back on. without what little parking there is available in the town center they have no way of getting to and from work. and paying for a Taxi in the small hours of the morning every day would take a huge chunk out of pay packets that are already stretched to the limit.

This is an absolute disgrace. As a musician that plays at Blackstock Market and rehearses at Vulcan studios, these parking restrictions will make it virtually impossible to continue do this. These and many more businesses will suffer as a consequence, all for 20 odd matches a year (let's face it, they're not getting into Europe or going on much of a cup run 😉)

The Climbing Hangar Sandhills is one of the oldest bouldering gyms in the the UK and the gym is where I first climbed and fell in love with the sport that has done wonders for my physical and mental health. As the gym is located in an industrial estate, the proposed parking restrictions will severely negatively impact this business and could lead to its closure. This would be a huge loss to the climbing community at large. It is simply unjust to prioritise the needs of some businesses (Everton) over others, simply because they have more money to throw around. Local businesses matter too.

Dear Readers, Local Businesses, Customers and anyone that cares about the community,

In 1849 St Albans Church opened its doors to parishioners, and after 139 years of faithful service closed them due to a decline in population in the docks area in 1990. In 1999 after extensive fire damage we bought the building that is now known as Awesome Walls Climbing Centre . Now in 2025 it faces anther major obstacle.

With the new Everton stadium being built close by, the council wants to adopt a strict two-hour parking policy on all the roads surrounding the stadium, and this includes our street. This policy will be enforced 365 days a year and not just on match days!

We have space for 20 cars in our small car park but we usually have an excess of 60 vehicles on our busier periods.

We urgently ask you to sign this petition and leave a comment where it asks you to do so.

By signing this petition, you are helping us to continue providing a service that has helped the local community, schools, youth groups and individuals for over 28 years.

Many awesome friendships and relationships have been forged at Awesome Walls Liverpool (including meeting my wife and having two awesome offspring) and we’d love to see many more in the years to come.

If I could be so bold as to also ask that you share this petition far and wide on your social accounts, it would mean the world to us.

I really do hope you can spare a minute or to to help save our business.

Thank you in anticipation of your help,

Dave Douglas and all the Liverpool Staff
CEO and Founder
Awesome Walls Climbing Centres

I happily travel to events at Blackstock market and have to travel by car, I would not feel safe as a female attending alone or as a sole parent if I had a distance to walk.

Many people have mentioned the affect this will have on businesses, and rightly so, but no one seems to have mentioned the affect this also has on residents. I am only allowed 1 visitors pass for where I live this means that the council is now dictating how many visitors I am allowed to have in my home. I have health conditions and a 17 month old daughter, my mother regularly visits to help with childcare and various other things, this now means that my brother and his partner cannot visit at the same time that my mother is here helping me. My neighbour is elderly and has dementia he has carers helping him throughout the day. Now his family cannot visit him if his carers are there due to him also only being allowed 1 visitors pass. This is nothing but a cash grab by the council penalising both businesses and residents who have been in the area much longer than the stadium that they allowed to be built where it is. There is no need for the restrictions to be imposed all year. They shouldn't have the right to tell me how many people can visit me and my daughter in our home. It is not right.
