According to the research I did at the records office, it just says the South of the city but doesn't say where specifically. Of course another hindrance with that is that the Mersey widens at this point. Brian Jacques who narrates in the Homes not Roads protest film indicates that the South end would have been the practical solution. In the opinion of many in the shipping world, Seaforth could have been a great alternative for artics leaving the newer docks as they now have to go up Church road which has damaged house foundations, before heading townwards via Scotland Road towards Kingsway (they are banned from Queensway)

JMU Professor Lewis Lesley who was interviewed for Homes not Roads in 1978 was sought out by Paul, maker of Gardens of Stones and attended our last screening and hailed it as relevant as ever. He announced back then that the inner ring road proposals for the city centre area were a disaster and just last year it was proposed that the Churchill Way flyovers may well be coming down but don't know the latest on this since the tram fiasco.
