Liverpool City Council has worked closely with residents and councillors to transform Goschen Street in Old Swan West.
Following reports of fly-tipping and overgrowth, the group worked over two weekends to turn the neglected space into cleaner, more accessible area.
Large amounts of rubbish were cleared, and dense vegetation was stripped back to create a level surface.
To prevent weeds from growing back, 40 tonnes of bark mulch was laid on the ground. This acts as a natural weed suppressant, while providing a cleaner, more visually appealing environment.
Finally, to complete the transformation, fencing panels were given a fresh coat of paint.
The Council worked closely with Ward Councillor William Shortall and residents to discuss their ideas for the space and carry out the work needed.
Councillor Laura Robertson-Collins, Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods, Communities and Streetscene said: “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.”
Old Swan West Ward Councillor William Shortall said: “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 team work 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.”
