00:00Everton are experiencing a busy period off the pitch with local authorities confirming key changes to the controversial parking scheme around the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
00:12Early this year, the experimental traffic order scheme affecting over 4,000 residents and 3,000 businesses was paused following concerns about its impact.
00:23Liverpool's council leader Liam Robinson explained that after consultations with local residents and businesses, the city has adjusted the scheme to better balance needs.
00:34New measures include non-event day parking restrictions and extended waiting limits up to four hours when Everton are not playing.
00:42This is aimed at supporting local businesses while preventing match day parking congestion near the stadium.
00:47The council will continue to review the scheme over the next six months before deciding on making it permanent.
00:55Meanwhile, on the field, Everton have moved swiftly in the transfer market to strengthen their squad.
01:01The Toffees have completed the signing of striker Dino Barry from Villarreal for an undisclosed fee, reportedly around £30 million.
01:09Barry, who scored 11 goals last season in La Liga and represented France at the under-21 Euros, has committed to a four-year deal.
01:18His arrival comes after the departures of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who left Everton at the end of his contract.
01:25Barry expressed his excitement at joining Everton, praising the club's history and the manager's faith in his ability to adapt to the Premier League.
01:33David Moyes described Barry as a player with lots of potential and said the club plans to give him time to settle and integrate.
01:42If Everton has a good start, then that might just give them an extra little push, a little boost in terms of attracting players later on in the window.
01:53This signing follows the permanent acquisition of midfielder Charlie Alcraz, who impressed during his loan spell from Flamenco last season.
02:01With these moves, Everton are signalling their intent to build a competitive squad while navigating the ongoing stadium and community challenges around this new era.
