NEWS Deere’s Solheim partners John Deere Partners with LPGA, LET for Long-Term Agreement
Liverpool submit paused Anfield expansion plans
Liverpool Football Club submit a planning application to Liverpool City Council for the proposed expansion of the Anfield Road stand.
The submission of the planning application was paused in spring this year due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The plans would see the capacity of the Anfield Road stand increase by around 7,000 seats, taking the stadium’s overall capacity to more than 61,000.
As part of the application, the club is also seeking permanent permission to hold concerts and major events at the stadium.
The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) has announced a new three-year official marketing partnership with John Deere. With the agreement, John Deere becomes the LPGA Tour’s Official Golf Course Equipment Supplier and will support the LPGA Foundation's efforts to introduce more girls to the game of golf. Additionally, the Ladies European Tour (LET) announced a three-year extension to its longstanding partnership with John Deere, which began in 2007.
“We’re excited to welcome John Deere into the LPGA family as our Official Golf Course Equipment Supplier," said Kelly Hyne, Chief Sales Officer for the LPGA. "We look forward to building upon John Deere’s strong history with the LET and Solheim Cup, bringing experience across both Tours and growing participation in the game of golf.”
Emma Allerton, LET Commercial Director,
added, “We too are delighted to be extending our successful partnership with John Deere, continuing to work together towards shared goals and enhancing opportunities across women’s golf.”
John Deere has also signed on as the Official Golf Course Equipment Supplier of the 2021 Solheim Cup at Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio. John Deere will work closely with agronomists for both Tours, with the goal of producing exceptional playing conditions across multiple continents.
The 2021 Solheim Cup will take place on 4th- 6th September at the Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio, with USA Captain Pat Hurst and European Captain Catriona Matthew leading their teams of the best professional female golfers in the United States and Europe.
The plans for the Anfield Road stand have been the subject of two stages of public consultation with local residents, businesses, fans and stakeholders.
The first stage launched 12 months ago, included the permanent closure of a small section of Anfield Road, in line with the original planning permission granted in 2014. After listening to feedback on this option, the club made changes to the plans.
A second stage of consultation was held in February 2020, during which the club presented new and updated plans. This included plans to keep Anfield Road open, with the road realigned around the footprint of the proposed expanded stand.
More than 700 responses were received to the consultation and the revised plans were well received, with the vast majority of respondents expressing support.
The planning application will shortly be submitted to Liverpool City Council and is expected to be decided in spring 2021.
Popular Amenity Forum updating events to be run online
At the start of each year the Amenity Forum run a series of free updating events for all involved or with an interest in amenity management.
These normally take place at venues across the UK and have been very well received. Given the current restrictions, opportunity to run these in the traditional way has been lost, but the Forum are going ahead with them but online. The same technology will be used as for the Forum’s very successful conference held in October.
The format will be very similar to normal, with the programme starting at 10.15am and concluding by 12.30pm. There will be opportunity for questions and all the current issues will be covered. 2021 sees the UK fully depart from the EU bringing with it new regulations on plant protection products. The
UK is also issuing a new national action plan relating to amenity management in 2021. Just these two items present challenges and opportunities. The events also give opportunity to catch up on new developments and innovations and what is required to meet the Amenity Standard, set to become a requirement in future.
Whilst the content of each event will be broadly the same, each will have a particular nation focus. The dates are given below, and each event is free to attend but pre- registration is required. If you would like to register or receive further information, please contact
admin@amenityforum.net. Full programmes for each event will be available early in 2021.
February 9th - England February 11th - Wales
10 PC December/January 2021
February 23rd - England February 25th - Northern Ireland March 4th - Scotland
Professor John Moverley OBE, Independent Chairman of the Forum, said; “As I often say, what happens in amenity management impacts upon every UK citizen every day seeking to provide safe and healthy spaces fit for purpose. The importance of this has never been more apparent in the last year. Our Updating events are always popular and relevant, but this year is set to be more than ever. There is much change around and how we address this will be vital.”
