The footlink was or is intended to provide public access around the Mersey from New Brighton to Southport via Runcorn. The problem in this part of the world always was, how do you get past the working section of docklands at Seaforth?
I think it was a nice idea but practically speaking you would need an Act of Parliament to create a public right of way.
Having said that, being able to access all parts is bit of a planning mantra and rightly so. There's still a place for privacy (like, my front garden or even private gardens in a London square) but essentially 'gated' communities are difficult to justify.
Problem is, they're very attractive to investors who might otherwise not want to live or put money into a 'dodgy' area. It would be interesting to know how that went in London's Docklands...
