New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Can someone explain to me in layman’s terms what a ‘roof screed’ is please?

A roof screed is a layer of material, typically concrete or a specialized mix, applied to a flat roof to create a slope, or fall for drainage. This slope directs rainwater towards designated outlets like gutters or downpipes, preventing water from pooling on the roof

Was the other side of the river today and can't help but think the opportunity the city has to build and get investment.

The gap between the stadium and the city looks pretty grim. I was hoping the stadium being at the other end would spark a catalyst of ambitious projects from each side.

Believe they're building housing in the space, I'm all for building more houses but that area should be for commercial offices which the city seems to lack to attract (Castore leaning for Manchester for example) and impressive architecture.

They can build anything as long as it blocks out the hole punch from the vista.

City leaders and developers need to be bold with this opportunity. High quality design, commercial, retail, leisure and housing well balanced. It’s a once in a generation opportunity that they can’t go short on, Look too Manchester / London approach and it can change the city for the future

In worry it will be a pumped up south docks type of job though

Great panoramic pic. That really does highlight the gap. I can see in a decade it’ll be transformed. It’s just a slow mover right now. I think you’re right, add some housing, sure. But this is a great opportunity to be massively creative and revitalise the area. Repurpose older buildings, restaurants, businesses.

The plans are there to build all the way up to the stadium, but the development started at the other end. It will probably take about a decade+ to fill in. Right now its housing, but much like with Everton buying Bramley Moore for the stadium, if someone wants to build a big skyscraper, office building etc then they probably do have the oppurtunity too.

I guess something like Catherine Dock/ butler wharf nr tower bridge London. Mix of historic warehouse residential and commercial buildings

What's happened to the talk about Everton's founding fathers to be honoured at the new stadium?

I suppose the George Mahon and James Clement Baxter Stands is now a pipe dream overlooked for corporate naming rights.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

That whole area could end up being one of the coolest places in the UK. Could. So much potential for creativity and artistry. But, committees and money. I’m pulling for it.

With the advent of AI office jobs will become increasingly redundant hence I'd guess Investors may be nervous how they use their money.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Tell you what, that boozer directly opposite the tower building outside the ground looks quality. What a location they secured for themselves—will be printing money.

Hope I haven’t chosen the Angry Birds end

Totally agree. It's out of my understanding but an Isle of Dogs type thing would be great. No red tape and tax relief but building there.

We already lost the UNESCO thing so why not go big?

I don't see how affordable housing in a prime area that could be so much more is the right choice.

It’s an opportunity to expand out world class waterfront and show a future focussed city. It needs to compliment what’s there and be unique and of the city though.
