Headlines: Milestone moment for Everton’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock

Key works have taken place at Bramley-Moore Dock as Everton’s new stadium continues to take shape.

The first foundations have been poured, creating a stable base for the building load for the club’s new ground.

Three hundred individual supporting piles, which are 15 to 20 metres deep, have now been drilled into the northern and southern wharves of the site.

David Jackson, Project Engineer at construction company Laing O’Rourke, told the club’s website: “It is a massive milestone to see the concrete going into the ground as we cap off some of our first piles.

“This also represents the first time our structural and foundation work comes above the current ground level.”

In another milestone, three quarters of the dock has now been infilled with fluidised sand, which will eventually be compacted and topped up to form further solid foundations.

Work is also continuing to repair the Grade II listed hydraulic tower. Sections of the tower are painstakingly being restored brick by brick to help ensure the structure remains sound for when the sand compacting process begins in the infilled dock.

Mobile police station at Liverpool Women’s Hospital as cordon is lifted

Merseyside Police will maintain a mobile police station at Liverpool Women's Hospital to reassure staff and the public as the examination of the scene ends following the bomb blast on Remembrance Sunday.

The scene at Sutcliffe Street, Kensington, has been closed, while searches remain ongoing at Rutland Avenue.

Assistant Chief Constable Jon Roy said: "Under very difficult circumstances, the work of everyone at Liverpool Women's Hospital in the past week has been remarkable.

"While patients were diverted to other hospitals in Merseyside in the immediate aftermath of the incident, by Sunday evening, the hospital's business continuity plans were up and running, and the staff have valiantly continued providing their essential service to the people of Merseyside and beyond.”

Help offered for pupils affected by Remembrance Sunday bomb

Pupils living in areas of the city affected by the recent terrorist attack in Liverpool have been offered support.

Officers from the Council's Prevent team have delivered a tailored plan to schools in areas near police cordons, such as Kensington, Greenbank and around the Liverpool Women's Hospital.

Councillor Tomas Logan, Cabinet member for Employment and Skills, said: "We are aware that communities, including young people, will be worried about incidents of hate crime and the potential for extremist groups to use this event to antagonise and promote hatred.

"The safety and trust of our communities is our priority, and we are working together to ensure that this awful event doesn't define our city and help communities that have been affected.

"We are also actively encouraging all Liverpool residents to report any hate crime incidents, no matter how small."
