The Ten Streets is an area in the north of Liverpool, running from the outskirts of the city centre to the A5058 road, in Bootle. [1] It takes its name from the ten streets within that run from the Liverpool Docks into Liverpool itself, which make up the core of the area. [2]

History

Liverpool City Council designated the 25-acre area for redevelopment, commissioning a Spatial Regeneration Framework (SRF) plan in 2017. [3] The plan described how the council hoped to increase jobs, regenerate deprived areas such as Kirkdale, provide new housing as well as encourage the growth of artistic and cultural events and organisations. [4] The council hoped to follow a similar success pattern to the Baltic Triangle district of the city. [5]

In January 2025, the council announced it was hoping to include part of the scheme as part of an application to the government for 'New Town' status. [6] The town is to be called 'Liverpool North', however the government rejected the application for funding plans in September 2025, with the council announcing it was to push on with the plans, regardless. [7]

August 2025 saw the opening of Everton FC's new stadium in the area. [8] Known as the Hill Dickinson Stadium, it took four years to build and seats 52,769 people. The stadium is set to be a host venue for UEFA Euro 2028 and the 2025 Rugby League Ashes. [9] [10]
