Plans chief ‘blackmailed’ over new ferry terminal

LIVERPOOL planning chairwoman Cllr Lady Doreen Jones last night said she felt “blackmailed” into approving a controversial new Mersey ferry terminal – describing it as looking like “an architectural student’s failed first attempt.”

Does it even need to be that? Can't they just have a small single-storey ticket office, and move the restaurant elsewhere? Especially now there's loads of developments either side where they'd get plenty of custom.
THE Mersey ferries are to return to their traditional Pier Head home early next week. more
Loads of changes have taken place in the last few days?
I'll take some pictures on my lunch for ya..
Why are they building something so big? It just seems really silly! It looks bloody ugly too. With the technology we have now they could of made a rather more realistic CGI impression, even The Sims has better cgi than that picture.
They installed some hardware over the past few days, its actually starting to take shape. I'll post some pics in the next half hour.
Merseytravel have awarded contract to ISG InteriorExterior. for the construction of the new terminal building. The exisiting building will be demolished after Merseytravel have built temporary booking hall on Canada Boulevard.

Certainly all change at the Pier Head. I remember when I used to get the bus home from there in the '80's.

Went for a meal up there once when it was the restaurant. Seemed like a lovely place too with a view. Bah to the council.
