    BATTLE lines will be drawn today when a public inquiry opens in Liverpool to determine the future of the former International Garden Festival site at Otterspool. Read

    Protesters plan to unveil a huge banner made by local children at the start of the three-day public inquiry at the Britannia Adelphi Hotel. (how nice) The Save Our Festival Gardens Campaign group plan to argue that the green wedge on the river bank should be preserved as public parkland.

    If the protestors get their way there will be no Japanese/Chinese gardens and the site will continue to be vandalised and will be yet another wasted space that people can't use.

    I really hope the plans go through, they are the only feasable plans that have been put forward.

    The housing will be on areas that were either a car park or former Festival Hall site.

    Yes it would of been great if the park had remained as it was in the 80's and early 90's but this is a compromise and life is about that!

    LIVERPOOL’S neglected festival gardens will only be restored if hundreds of homes are built alongside them, a public inquiry heard. Read

    Is it 'safe' to go into the festival gardens? I want to add some pictures to my website.

    Best to walk the perimeter fence and find a gap in the fence there. I would say early morning is a good time. Its worth a trip.

    Inquiry told Garden Festival site could be jeopardy
    Nov 2 2007 by Liza Williams, Liverpool Daily Post

    Economist Timothy Johnston said developer Langtree McLean had already spent £13.8m acquir-ing and designing plans for the 56-acre derelict Otterspool site.

    He did not believe that level of public investment could be raised for the redevelopment and protection of parkland at the site, if Langtree McLean’s blueprint was rejected.

    Mr Johnson was speaking on the third day of a public inquiry into the controversial £250m plan, which includes revitalising the Japanese and Chinese gardens which were flagship exhibits of the 1984 festival

    The public enquiry is visiting the site today for a look round. They are in there now I think (1pm 5th Nov)

    The session on Thursday should be worth attending. I believe it is open to the public to make their views known. The morning session is 10 til 12:30 not sure about the afternoon.
