    I'm from there so I don't mean to be funny. Everton is one of the poorest neighbourhoods in the UK and lost most of its population in the 60's and hence its character. Successive governments and councils have ignored Everton and north Liverpool. The park on the hill is nice and has great views but still has a very inner city feel, being surrounded by derelict buildings.

    Personally I really hope project Jennifer goes ahead and new life is breathed into Everton because people there deserve better.

    That's true. Everton/Vauxhall has suffered from Piecemeal regeneration projects which have failed the area terribly.

    I would be concerned about the proposed Sainsbury's Supermarket though. It's alright having a small neighbourhood Kwiky but a large supermarket might affect the likes of Walton which possibly already has a fragile shopping district seeing as it is about to have two Sainsbury's supermarkets rather than just the one.

    The town end of Scotty was destroyed by the building of the tunnel and has never recovered. There must be some way of reconnecting Everton with the city centre and Islington.

    There is loads of waste land around the tunnel and surely could be used somehow. Have you ever tried walikng from St Anthony's to town? It is virtually impossible linked by one bridge.

    I live in Bootle and pass through Scottie Road each day and see little to be proud of about it in its present state.

    I never said it was. Anyway I was only discussing how a poor inner city area could be improved to benefit the people who live there.

    However, I know where you are coming from you are the type who is still bitter that Cilla left.

    It's great to see that you have pride in where you live Gerard; Its not often you find someone like that!

    By the way; I don't normally go and sell me Flickr Space in the forums but as I have been asking for some assistance, you might all be interested to see the images which have just been uploaded now!

    Once again, Many thanks for your help! Especially Dave and Gerrard!
