The plans for Liverpool's new stadium
have been re-approved by the local council without any alterations
in the original scheme.
The Anfield club had to re-submit their plans, originally agreed
almost two years ago, to make sure they conformed to new planning
law.
And at a meeting of Liverpool council's planning committee on
Tuesday those plans - for a 60,000 ground on nearby Stanley Park -
were once again given the go-ahead.
Liverpool still have major financial problems to overcome, however,
with the cost of the Stanley Park venture having spiralled to
£160million. Shareholders were told at the club's recent AGM that
it could be four years before the stadium was
completed.
