Lime Street Area

[Kev]

Many thanks for that and a merry Christmas to you too

Culture to me is about the people of the city, their lives and ways they live, also the surrounds and buildings they live in, obviously the tired city needs a tidy up and spruce up , but new steel , aluminium and glassbuildings imported from the continent constructed by labour from outside the region have nothing to do with culture in my opinion, the whole scheme from it's inception gives me the impression it is just a big free for all money grab by uncultured people.

hmm.. you could be right there.

To be honest, the sooner they demolish the better, even if construction doesn't start till 2009. Just clearing the area will be a vast improvement. Regarding the poor lighting on the advertising boards, I think that the lights just need to be angled differently, they seem to be pointing towards the ground rather than the actual building.

I feel the need to get someone in charge of the Concourse Tower area, grab them by the collar and shout "get on with it" ....

Some of your precious Liverpool people are to blame for the Lime Street station debacle.
The owners of the scruffy shops on the concourse did all they could to hold the city to ransom. This coupled with a disgracefully inept and unimaginative city council, who managed to kybosh a privately funded skyscraper in favour of their own which
Much of Liverpool's culture and history has come from other parts of the world, we have to stop being so parochial.

Have you been in the 2 remaining shops and asked them if they're Scousers?
I suspect that they're not.
Leaving that aside, they were only protecting their own interests, selfishly, or not.

Well said Philip on both counts.
