Some local residents have objected to the City Quay scheme because they say the development would block views of the River Mersey, as well as creating more traffic.

Councillors will discuss the plan next Tuesday.

Hasn't the dock already been totally redeveloped?!

[Kev]

You would think so by looking at it. I have an idea it may be along the bit that runs parallel to Riverside Drive towards the Festival Gardens, its a strip of land on the left as you drive towards Aigburth from town, just a thought.

[Kev]

Just had another thought, doesn't the dock area extend across the road to the other side nearer the waterfront?

Multimap view

This came through my door the other day.
Only because there's local elections coming up.

[Kev]

In reality, how many people actually stand and stare at the view from there?

A 12-storey building is hardly a skyscraper anyway...

FAMILIES in a community made famous by television’s Bread series look likely to lose a battle to save their views of the Welsh mountains and glorious sunsets.

Hundreds of people in the Shorefields area, around Grafton Street, have signed a petition in a bid to block plans for a new homes scheme on Herculaneum Dock.

Their own terraced houses are on top of a rock cliff face, giving residents uninterrupted views across the Mersey towards Wales.

They claim the scheme by Liverpool development company City Quay will ruin their grandstand view of stunning scenery.

City Quay want to build 218 homes, retail and leisure schemes and a 228-space car park on the last remaining undeveloped area of the dock. continues....
