Everton Park is a quite extraordinary monument of formal and informal landscaping on a high hill overlooking the Mersey. Whilst the river is quite close to the eye, it is far away if you try to walk or cycle down the jumble of roads lying in the foreground. This Connect2 scheme aims to create something akin to a promenade between the two. It will be tree-lined, largely traffic free and direct, leading all the way from Everton Park through to the historic locks on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, then descending to Stanley Dock and the quayside itself.


"This is a great honour; I love the thought of becoming part of the landscape alongside Dick Wagstaff and the great Richard Burton. I'm hoping that my sculpture might be able to persuade Burton's sculpture to quote some poetry of an evening, or at least a bit of War of the Worlds." Rob Brydon
"Making it easy for millions of people to change their world by walking and cycling to the local places they want to go"
