Description

Netherley is predominantly a residential area located on the eastern side of Liverpool and is taken up by 44% green belt which restricts potential industrial growth.[2]

However Netherley's Caldway Drive is the new location for the Belle Vale Junior Football League which had to relocate from playing fields in nearby Belle Vale to accommodate the building of a new school.

History

Netherley was built on farmland on the edge of Gateacre in 1968 for tenants moved out of unfit housing in Liverpool city centre.[3]

Many of Netherley’s flats and maisonettes were demolished during the 1980s to make way for new houses. Lee Valley Housing took over management of council properties in 2003, making improvements to 1,700 homes.[3]

Crime

The area has a relatively high crime rate (both petty and serious) and high unemployment (there is no fact of this however as this was written by somebody who is obviously biased towards Liverpool and more than likely live down south.).[4]

Economy

The area lost a major local employer, HPL Jars & Containers, in 2006. After thirty plus years, it was bought out by M&H Plastics and production was transferred out of the area.[5]

Education

St. Gregory's Catholic Primary School received an excellent Ofsted report in 2005.[6] Built at the same time as the local housing, the school has adapted over the years to meet the demands of the area, such as admitting a large number of pupils from Cross Farm School which was closed by the local educational authority due to a surplus of places in the area. The nearby Norman Pannell Primary School is also a popular school in Netherley.

Future developments

Supplementing the existing golf driving range, a nine hole golf course is planned as part of a £10 million sports park to be built on the former Lee Manor High School site (formerly Netherley Comprehensive). The 3 par course will replicate versions of some of the world’s best holes. The sports facility will also contain a gym, two fishing lakes and eleven all-weather football pitches.[7]
