I have heard a rumour Asda are planning on extending thier Hunts cross store by carrying on the tradition of adding a second floor. Having seen the New york bar and the childrens play centre close, is this to facilitate any future extensions into the white elephant Mall area.
Have they? :shock:Quote:

The Hunts Cross shopping centre is only worth going there for Asda and to see that parrot in the pet shop.
i finally now what asda are planning and its goodQuote:

I've started to go to Morrisons in Speke more often as the access is easier.
Don't make it dual lane, I'll never be able to cross over it, at places other than the lights. It's bad enough already !!!
It's not that bad. Believe me, really.Quote:

I guess it depends on the area in Bootle. I don't live where everyone wants to move to, but it seems harmless enough and I don't hear lots of rowdy gangs here. I have noticed a few more broken windows lately though so maybe it is getting worse.Quote:

I only really see the industrial part of Speke and have only seen the train station area of hunts cross, so they both look drab. It's not like I've got time to go exploring when I only get 30 mins for dinner :( lol
lol thats true. I used to live off Linacre Road, I guess you would class that more as Litherland, it was alright. Few gangs but it calmed down. I like Bootle, there is a lot on your doorstep and its handy for town if you work there!
The good thing about living in the north and south of the city is I could be a bloomin' taxi driver! :D
I live off Knowsley Rd, but not too close to the park. I was walking down my street before and there was a gang of lads and the obligatory Ugg boot wearing girls outside one of the houses so I guess I'll need to move soon :doubt:
Are u mums taxi yet ? That car sticker confuses me coz it's really kids taxi, ain't it lol
In the original plans from the 1930s, Speke should have had a promenade and cinemas. However they have had parks, shops, schools ,banks, pubs and a lot more than a lot of places have had and most of it got wrecked. Its a shame really because there are lots of nice people in Speke and many keep their houses like little palaces. Unfortunately the scum got out of control.
