We want to build a new future here that honours its heritage, unlocks its potential and leaves a legacy that future generations can be proud of.”I hope anyone with an interest in the success of the area will take the time to have their say and help shape what comes next.”You can find out more information, and fill in the consultation, hereFOLLOW OUR EVERTON FC FACEBOOK PAGE!
