FOUND: Controversial football pitch plans scrapped - What They Never Told You

Controversial plans to turn a Merseyside park into 3G football pitches have been scrapped by Sefton Council.

The council undertook a two-month consultation on the Orrell Park Master Plan, which was backed by Jamie Carragher's JC23 Foundation. Almost 1,000 people provided feedback on the proposals, which were managed by the independent consultation company FMG Consulting.

Forty nine percent of respondents supported the creation of a 3G pitch, while 49% of respondents said they were against the plan. The remaining 2% said they neither supported nor opposed the 3G pitch proposal.
