Controversial parking scheme to restart as massive week looms for Everton
Moving home is always a complicated affair. You have to box up all your things, move all those treasured memories to your new location and settle in. There's also the small matter of finding somewhere to park. It's unusual, you're used to having your normal spot and, all of a sudden, you have to look all over again. Since leaving Goodison Park after 133 years in May, this has been the case for Everton as they prepare to call the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Regent Road their new home for decades to come. Next weekend, the ground will operate at full capacity for the first time when the men's first team play their inaugural official match against AS Roma. With this will come around 52,000 fans making their way by any means necessary to the stadium. While some matchday traditions will change, many supporters will still look to hop in their car on the way to watch the Blues. READ MORE: Boys, 15 and 16, arrested after police officers attacked READ MORE: Man, 22, stabbed in park However, from Monday, a raft of changes to the controversial parking scheme surrounding the footprint of Bramley-Moore Dock are to be reintroduced after being paused earlier this year. The parking zone was halted following a backlash from businesses and residents over the impact of the scheme. Under the scheme, more than 4,000 residents and 3,000 businesses have been asked to apply for the relevant parking permits to comply with what is called an Experimental Traffic Order (ETRO). The ETRO will run for an initial 18 month period. The city council has released a new map outlining the designations for nine locations within the catchment area. After consultation with representatives from those living and working around the Hill Dickinson Stadium footprint, the city council has confirmed it has changed the operation of the parking zone in time for the final test event next month. This includes the introduction of non-event day parking restrictions and extending waiting limits to up to four hours when Everton are not playing. Around Esk Street, Juniper Street and Blackstone Street, event day restrictions will remain in place, requiring drivers to leave within two hours. Around Walter Street, Ten Streets and Love Lane, permit parking will be required as these have been designated as business locations. Up to four hours' parking will be permitted on non-event days. Some business owners warned the original measures could lead to closures, prompting dozens to protest at Blackstock Market in March and urge the council to reconsider. Following consultation during the pausing of the scheme since then, the city council has said additional parking bays will be introduced to support businesses and community venues. Blue badge parking bays will also be installed on Regent Road. An event day will typically be any sporting or non-sporting event at the new stadium with 10,000 or more attendees. The council's traffic manager can also apply event day rules for events at the stadium with fewer than 10,000 attendees or those taking place at other locations like Goodison Park, Anfield or the city centre, where there is a need to manage parking. The dates of upcoming events will be displayed on signs next to the parking bays and at the entry points to Permit Parking Areas. Letters detailing the full scheme and parking permit application guidance have now been delivered to all addresses within the ETRO boundary. Applications for more than 10 business permits will continue to be accepted on a case-by-case basis. The council will continue to review the ETRO for the next six months to allow for any further modifications. Following that review period, officials will then consider making the traffic order permanent. Business owners told the ECHO last month how the changes to the scheme were an 'improvement but not enough'. Henry Cookey runs HC:Fit Ninja Training on Birchall Street and offered his view on the amendments. He said: 'It's good to hear they're not putting the blanket ban in, that's improved. 'It's also good that parking permits are not restricted to individual cars so you can pass them between cars but it's still not enough. I hold events where I have 50 to 80 people coming and stay between six to eight hours so four hours does nothing for me.' Mr Cookey said workarounds could be found on matchdays but he would have to pay for five parking permits for his staff. He said: 'In my opinion, permits should be free, they should be registered to the business and I also believe customers should not have to stress about parking.' Cllr Dan Barrington, cabinet member for transport and connectivity, said: 'We understand that traffic and parking arrangements can significantly affect daily routines and operations and we've been fully committed to working with residents and businesses to make this process as smooth and fair as possible. These refinements reflect the invaluable input we've received from residents and businesses and we'll continue to listen, monitor and review the scheme to establish if any further modifications will be needed. 'Our goal is to strike the right balance between matchday operations and everyday life in the neighbourhood. I would like to thank the local community for its ongoing cooperation as we finalise arrangements for safe, efficient matchday traffic management.'

Aaron Glenn gets emotional as the reality of being the Jets' head coach 'hit me pretty hard'
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The reality of the situation finally hit Aaron Glenn. More than seven months after being hired by the New York Jets, the first-time NFL head coach got surprisingly emotional Saturday. And it had nothing to do with the 12 penalties called on his team during practice. 'I'm sure this is going to hit at some point, but I told the players this: The first time since I became head coach, today was the first day it really hit me,' Glenn said to open his post-practice news conference. "And it hit me once I heard the fans give the 'J-E-T-S' chant. 'And I don't know why, but it just hit me.' The 53-year-old Glenn was drafted by the Jets in the first round in 1994 and played for the franchise for eight of his 15 NFL seasons. The three-time Pro Bowl cornerback was also a personnel scout for New York for two seasons and a longtime assistant coach, most recently as Detroit's defensive coordinator for four seasons, before getting the chance to lead his former team. 'It hit me pretty hard,' Glenn said, his voice cracking slightly. "Man, I am so thankful. I'm thankful for this organization that gave me a shot. I'm thankful for this organization that gave me my second shot at becoming a coach. 'I don't know why, fellas. But it hit me and hit me pretty hard, and, man, I just feel grateful. Grateful to be in this position.' Glenn, along with new general manager Darren Mougey, faces the task of turning around the fortunes of a franchise that has the NFL's longest active playoff drought at 14 seasons. He has talked several times since being hired in January about changing the culture around the Jets and building them into a consistent winner by stressing fundamentals and competition. But with the team practicing in front of packed stands for its annual scrimmage at the facility, Glenn couldn't shake his emotions — especially when he heard the fans. 'Yeah, I was,' Glenn said when asked if he was surprised he felt that way. 'I thought it had already hit me.' One thing Glenn has focused on during training camp is cutting down on penalties after the Jets were called for the most in the league in each of the past two seasons. He has officials at every practice to try to get players to understand how plays will be called. But it didn't seem to help much Saturday. The Jets had 12 penalties called on them during what Glenn called a 'pseudo scrimmage,' including several holding calls. 'There are a lot of things we've got to clean up and the one thing I'm sure everybody saw is the penalties,' the coach said. 'I'm glad we had the refs out there because that's one thing we want to hit — we want to make sure we hit those hard. And I want them to ref it just like it was a game and I thought they did a good job of that.' It made for a sloppy practice as Justin Fields and the rest of offense, including the backups, struggled throughout the session. Some calls even had the fans booing. 'There's no excuses,' Glenn said. 'Our players understand that. We know penalties, they're discipline issues and we've got to make sure we are more disciplined in aspects on both sides of the ball. We will get those cleaned up, I promise you that. But there's a lot of work to do.' Cornerback ace Kris Boyd left the field on a cart after injuring a shoulder during special teams drills. He went down on the sideline and was writhing in pain while he was looked at by trainers. Glenn had no immediate word on his condition. Glenn said wide receiver Xavier Gipson also injured a shoulder on the final play of practice when he tried to catch a pass in the end zone. Safety Jaylin Simpson was sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Jets' training camp scrimmage devolves into sloppy mess
The Jets' green and white scrimmage — the closest they've gotten to a game situation this training camp — looked and sounded eerily similar to too many real games in recent years. A floundering offense. Penalty after penalty. Groans from the fans. Advertisement They scrimmaged — with full tackling other than on the quarterback — for the majority of Saturday's practice. And it was their sloppiest showing since camp started. They committed 12 penalties, the vast majority of which came on offense. A plethora of them were pre-snap flags as well. The penalties stalled multiple offensive drives. 3 Jets quarterback Justin Fields (7) throws a pass during practice at training camp in Florham Park, NJ. Bill Kostroun/New York Post 'There were a lot of things we gotta clean up,' head coach Aaron Glenn said after practice. 'The one thing that I'm sure everybody saw were the penalties. I'm glad we had the refs out there, because that's one thing we want to hit. We want to make sure we hit those hard. I want them to ref it just like it was a game. I thought they did a good job with that. Advertisement 'There's no excuses, our players understand that. We know penalties, they're discipline issues. We gotta make sure we're more disciplined in that aspect on both sides of the ball. We will get those cleaned up, I promise you that, but there's a lot of work to do.' The Jets led the NFL in both penalty yardage and total penalties committed last year. Glenn has preached discipline endlessly and made cutting down on flags his No. 1 point of emphasis since camp started. But his messaging has not yet translated into actual, on-field results. Advertisement 'We continue to emphasize it, and then we watch it as a group and we try to understand exactly — why did it happen? Some of the holding calls, those can be technical issues,' Glenn said. 'As a coach, we try to fix those issues. Those are competitive penalties, for the most part. I'm not saying they're OK, I'm not, but the thing is we have to coach the technique on that to make sure those don't happen again. And our players have to understand that. 3 The Jets had a sloppy day at camp on Saturday. Bill Kostroun/New York Post 'We had some great runs on a number of those penalties, and it doesn't matter now, because they bring them back. We gotta do a good job of coaching, and the players gotta do a good job of accepting the coaching and going out there and executing.' For his own part, quarterback Justin Fields struggled mightily. He completed just 2 of 10 passes during the scrimmage. A delay-of-game penalty also fell on his shoulders.

The running game was one silver lining. Fields ran for a touchdown. Breece Hall, Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis all flashed at different points. 3 Jets coach Aaron Glenn speaks to the media after practice at training camp in Florham Park, NJ. Bill Kostroun/New York Post 'I will say this, and I want to make sure this is clear, I thought our running backs today did a hell of a job,' Glenn said. 'A hell of a job. And it's expected. … I expect a number of good things from those guys, and I want to make sure that those guys get praise for what they did today.' But solid running back play won't make up for so much dysfunction around them. Not even close. Saturday served as a bad case of déjà vu.
