I would like to see Everton park restored and made safer for the public. It has great potential and has some of the best views of the city centre.:)

Second bid to build £80m dock tower
MORE than 120,000 sq ft of office space will be created as part of a new £80m mixed-use development at Liverpool's Princes Dock.
The scheme, being proposed by the Mersey Property Company (MPC), will feature a 32-storey tower, 122,000 sq ft of grade-A office space, 133 apartments, a 129-bed hotel pre-let to Golden Tulip, 5,000 sq ft of leisure/retail space and 150 car parking spaces.
It is the second proposal put forward by MPC for the site, plot 3a, which is right on the waterfront. Its original plans were heavily criticised in a report last year by the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) which branded them "joyless" and "weak".
Now after working with CABE, English Heritage, the city council and Liverpool Vision, the company believes it has come up with a design that will please all parties.
Internationally renowned architects, RMJM, has drawn up the new plans which MPC hopes will win planning approval in March.

Did u know they closed down their Brunswick Dock warehouse just after Christmas before the move to Manchester?
The Alexandra Tower crane has just been raised by four or five stages, giving it a big enough working height to complete the tower. It's now massive!

Here they are,bottom right.
Peel Holdings today announced plans for a revolutionary new luxury housing development at Princes Dock.
Ground breaking proposals for floating luxury homes have been unveiled that will see Princes Dock become home to a prestigious marina style development.
Plans have been submitted to Liverpool City Council for 26 floating homes that will sit in the Princes Dock basin. Designed with a nautical theme associated with the marina environment, the style reflects naval architecture and will give the appearance of a row of high quality multi million pound super-yachts.
Liverpool based Architects KKA have taken an exciting, innovative approach to produce a design worthy of the stunning location that benefits from views of the Liver buildings, River Mersey and UNESCO World Heritage site.
Each home will be arranged on 3 “decks” providing a total internal living space of 1850 sq ft. The prestigious homes will also feature an outside deck area that sits immediately above the water, master bedrooms with an impressive external balcony for residents to enjoy the unique atmosphere and ambience of the dock. The top deck will feature a sun deck with a large area for entertaining that will have excellent views of the Pier Head and the fast developing Princes Dock.
Reflecting the very latest in City living in a truly unique location, prices for homes at Flotilla are expected to be in line with top of the range penthouse apartments and as the first development of its kind in the Country, a high level of demand is expected for the water borne luxury homes.
Martyn Green of King Sturge said:
“We are privileged to be in a position to bring these unique homes to the market, and have already had a few enquiries from people who have heard about this project on the grapevine. This will be one of the most talked about developments in 2007.”
He continued:
“It is fantastic that the first development of this kind in the Country is to be based here in Liverpool. The level of demand for these special luxurious homes is expected to be great, with Flotilla offering a first in prestigious living on the water. A new precedent will be set in luxury living offering unrivalled location, the highest quality interiors and views that are second to none”.
Ian Pollitt, of Peel added:
“With the Capital of Culture Year almost upon us and Peel’s recent investment plans for the Liverpool and Wirral unveiled recently we thought it fitting to bring forward these unique homes. They are reflective of Peel’s innovative and pioneering approach to the re-development of the area”.
In excess of £200 million has already been invested in Princes Dock and it has now become recognised as a prestigious location within the City and is already home to many blue chip companies including KPMG, Coutts Bank, RBS and Pricewatercoopers LLP, together with the Crowne Plaza and Malmaison hotels.
At long last, taking advantage of a great vantage point besides a working River, unlike most of the UK wannabes.
I'm speechless after seeing the pics.
