We can't let the sometimes selfish minority scupper regeneration plans that are vitally needed.
The policies underpinning New Heartlands were set in motion when Liverpool was in terminal decline. Things have changed. A rethink is called for.

Has there EVER been a case where people were offered refurbishment of their existing community and instead voted for modern housing?
Manchester is just about to introduce congestion charges to keep cars out of the city centre and in exchange receive hundreds of millions of pounds to further build up their public transport infrastructure. What are we doing? Building a dual carriageway into the city centre! No one else does that anymore - it's the mindset of the 80s. And you say LCC has it's finger on the pulse. Whose pulse is that - Derek Hatton's?
