This has to be the best unadopted road in Liverpool

Very interesting to see, Taffy. I was published in the 1980's the poetry magazine T.O.P.S. (aka "The Old Police Station" after the old cop shop in Lark Lane that you photographed) edited by Anthony Cooney who lived in Haddasah Grove and I visited him there as well. Does anybody know if Tony Cooney is still around?

Best regards

Chris

Not been a post on this thread for some time. Here's Burnsall St in Garston which I think is really now adopted despite the sign.

Another unique part of Garston

We have a plan here.. That unadopted roads are adopted by " Business Owners" They get a sign put up, under the road sign..With their Business name on it.. saying " WE adopted...blah blah blah Street..." . a project called.. Adopt a Highway.... A great advertising for businesses...a great community service too...

Business firm Workers (for instance) Sallies Dry Cleaners..., get together.. once a month...Receive big orange bags ,supplied to them from the City.., The company sticks their logos on the bags.. and proceed to clean up the street.. The rubbish they pick up, is then left for the trashmen ..(all piled in one area).. It works well..

.. as far as pot holes.. I suppose they could supply the people with gravel too.. if someone is inclined to help.. Yet, our traffic bureau is in charge of that.. and it is way out of line with holes here... LOL..

I think this is a great advertising and get together for the workers.. BBQ's, etc.. after their hour or two of community service..and the owner of the business gets advertising and maybe the workers can mingle and a little exercise.. Win Win situation... all volunteered..
