Hit the link in the sig. All is there. The in-fill was rejected. Expect more proposals from these sharks, so not over yet.

Also, what happening with that canal link? Do they have to wait for the Museum to go on site first?

---

It is going ahead and the canal has been moved over when running through the partially filled in Trafalgar Dock.

I know you're not so big on the canal but how about the the feasibility of a network of canalised roads into the city?

---

I like the canal link. The problem is to accommodate it the city prostituted itself and gave into demands from Peel/British Waterways that docks be infilled to canal boat depths. This precludes deep water vessels entering the docks near the city centre. A renovated SS Manxman and maybe Royal Iris and all the Birkenhead historic ships cannot now be berthed in docks near the centre.

You have to question the sanity of the people running the city do such an asinine thing.

The Kings Dock renders appear to feature an extended Dukes dock continuing under a bridged Strand into the Formule 1 area* Be good if that were the case.

---

They don't. There will be no extention of any dock water space. A great thing and should be done.

Then to the North: The little streets of Vulcan/Cotton St to Stanley Warehouse, then under Great Howard and carrying on into the area bordered by the railway. This would make an excellent setting for our own Amsterdam type area, a bohemian, sleazy district with rehearsal rooms, clubs, pubs and peepshows amongst the reworked warehouses and new build.

Ever read Kevin Samson's "Clubland"?

Great idea. I doubt they would like the Church St/Lord St part as that is shopping.

Not read that. I need to read Stars Are Stars.

Clubland's "Loin District" is what the Central North docks should be. Rotterdam crossed with Amsterdam crossed with Industrial Dockland Liverpool..

Be wonderful though wouldn't it? Boats going through the centre of town, from the new Hilton, up Hanover Canal, and into a Central Village canal which would run to the back of Bold St, back down to the new Museum. I can't think of anything better, tonnes of footbridges with chestnut sellers, moored restaurant boats and boats for gigs and clubs in the centre....?

Then the rough and ready New Amsterdam district to the north?

We should push this one.

Just been reminded that Liverpolitan was the person who came out with the quoute about Capt Noel Chavasse: "I just don't think Liverpool should be elevating the memory of a posh person whose behaviour would probably not have been noted let alone remembered and rewarded if he or she was a member of the working class":eek:

'cept' if he was called Tony Benn aye :d

Brainstorming now:
I wonder what Tony Benn thinks of Chavasse?:neutral:
BBC
"Most poignant was possibly Captain Noel Chavasse, who "never fired a shot." The Liverpool doctor who "devoted his life to his boys," rescued the wounded in no-man's land, before dying in 1917"

I don't see why Captain Chavasse shouldn't have got his VC's. No harm in naming that park after him either.

I think we should name Newsham Park after Degsy Hatton. My mum was always complaining that I returned home smelling of dogshiite after visiting there as a kid.
