    Totally agree kat2, It would of been great for the whole site to be kept as it was for the IGF, but it's not feasable.

    This is a good compromise for all



    p.s. this is my first post, but long time reader!

    I've got this link but can't remember exactly where it came from

    Most stuff is under the 3 Parks Committee or Executive Board

    I dont think the initial planning application matters, as, I beleive its been revised anyway. No doubt next year when it goes before government? then things should be alot clearer. I do think though some live in fantasy world if they think the festival site would be revived as a festival site., unless of course you dont all mind paying extra on your council tax for it, and considering how many parks and gardens liverpool has, I cannot see that happening. Yes, you could agrue about the fact that it was a toxic dump not to be built on, but then no doubt over time they will find a work around for this.
    pity really because I personally feel the new plans look like a very sensible compromise considering the cost of the proposed new park and lake, yes there will be homes built where the old buildings were, but then nothngs for free.

    Have they set a date for the public enquiry yet? And does anyone know if they've done any more work on the IGF site?

    EXTENSIVE plans to restore Liverpool’s former garden festival site have taken a crucial step forward.

    Councillors agreed to hand over land next to the 67-acre site so developer Langtree McLean can start its £250m scheme if it gets the final go-ahead from the Government.

    Liverpool council must now wait until the verdict from next month’s public inquiry before it knows if restoration work can start on the gardens, woods and grasslands.

    Langtree McLean wanted an extra two acres of land between the festival gardens and Otterspool promenade to help it build waterfront apartment blocks.

    But after talks with the council, they will now only need about 0.2 acres, mostly to create new footpaths.

    Councillors rejected rumours the prom-enade would close to let the development take place.

    Personally, I would be very happy to buy a house on that plot of land as long as the little go-kart track was in my garden

    Hi folks,
    FYI, As well as the public inquiry on 30th October, there's also a public event organised for Saturday 27th October at The Old Police Station, Lark Lane, L17. Please forward on to anyone interested in attending.

    Cheers

    The latest news from Karen Fletcher is that part of the prom from approximately the Britannia Pub to near Otterspool will be handed over to the developers Langtree McLean. If the development goes through, Langtree McLean plan to close this section off to the public from dawn to dusk for the privacy of the residents.

    Karen finishes off her email with:
    "The bottom line is, Langtree McLean want to rip up the trees and shrubs and replace with 8 storey apartments and keep this part of the prom for the residents of their buildings and restrict access to the public who utilise this area and have enjoyed it use for many years. Don't let this happen, pass this on to people you think may be affected as they need to know that whilst in full flow of their walk, jog or cycle ride they may have to stop at some railings erected and turn back!
    Regards
    Karen"

    What does she mean by:

    and restrict access to the public who utilise this area and have enjoyed it use for many years.
    How have the public utilised the area? Its been closed off to the public for 20 odd years.

    Are they planning to cut off and restrict access along the prom in front of the brtannia?

    The elavated car park (in front of the britannia) is going to go as well in the future.

    I think it depends where you start and end your quote
    keep this part of the prom for the residents of their buildings and restrict access to the public who utilise this area and have enjoyed it use for many years
    That makes more sense than quoting
    and restrict access to the public who utilise this area and have enjoyed it use for many years
