Its right........we had an Irish community.........
I've heard only Westminster in London has more statues and sculptures than Liverpool so we don't do so badly really.Many European cities have statues everywhere, if Liverpool is to be a capital of culture then I think that this would be nice.

Oh right I didn't know that.
It would still be a good thing to see the Scotland Road area improved as this is one of the main entrances to the city. Not just a case of planting trees though as the area has plenty and they don't mask the decline.
Well I believe that there is a project underway to build a new supermarket on one side that will improve the look of the road.
Also it would take very little money to actually demolish some of the delapidated buildings such as pubs.
Then I would suggest the area needs to be opened up to the private sector.
The council has demolished loads of flats in the last 5 years in the Stanley Road area why not sell the land to private developers who could build affordable apartments. that would then increase the local population and begin the recovery of the local economy which in Everton is one of the worst in the country.
The council could also improve the look of the place by a couple of public art projects.
I can think of better ways of spending public money than on a statue that will be vandalised.Originally Posted by Urban
born i cork in 1979... moved to england when i was 8 moved to Liverpool when i was 18... i think one of the main reasons that i love liverpool so much is beacause it retains its sens of irishness!!!
cheers kev... i did meet you on the tour of gorvesnor site visit... you put together a good forum here kidda.. keep up the good work
How have some of you found this stuff out about your families? I wish I knew about mine! I know (like most of merseyside!) I have some Irish in me, my nans mother moved to Liverpool from some small town outside dublin when she was a kid so I suppose it would have been due to the famine. I think I could have some very very distant German aswell. How can I find this stuff out?!
i must be the only scouser with out an irish connection
Don't believe everything you hear..... Just everything you say.
