    No need to bulldoze Edge Lane

    RESIDENTS say they have a plan to refurbish rather than bulldoze hundreds of properties in Edge Lane, Liverpool.

    A public inquiry heard that campaigners believe they can transform the community alongside the main route from the M62 to the city centre by 2008 - given the chance.

    Isnt it possible that the situation will arise where nothing gets done and buildings stay empty because of these enquiries? Will the plan put forward by the residents mean that any money that was going to be pumped into the scheme will now be taken away?

    The proposed scheme is already £5million short, of which £2million the Council has agreed will be paid from local taxes. Why should we pay for people's homes to be demolished to be replaced by more f*ckin' luxury apartments?

    Fair enough, I just hope it gets sorted one way or the other.

    I don't think many people have an argument with the demolition of properties on Edge Lane itself necessary for the road widening. It is the demolition of a further band of properties so as to create a row of apartments along each side of the new widened Edge Lane so as 'to provide a more attractive gateway to the city for visitors to the European Capital of Culture 2008' that is controversial. These will be neither affordable or appropriate to the existing residents of the area.

    That would be a great start Loo, but I'm thinking more 1850ish, Vauxhall, and Toxteth
