    Default PLeae email the planning Dpt

    Details:

    Proposal Number:
    06F/2292

    Jon Woodward
    Planning Department
    Liverpool City Council
    Municiple Buildings
    Dale Street
    L69 2DH

    I advise all to make an objection by letter or email ASAP to the filling in of West Waterloo Dock

    Email for objection:
    jon.woodward@liverpool.gov.uk

    Some point for objection. I'm sure you can think of more:

    1. West Waterloo dock is historic nearly 200 years old, dating from 1834.
    2. The historic dock is a part of the rich heritage of Liverpool
    3. The dock forms a water environment for the flats between West Waterloo Dock and East Waterloo Dock. The residents bought those flats because of the water environment the locale offered. This will be obliterated.
    4. Filling in of the dock further obliterates the "City On The Water”, which the city was promised the redundant docks would be, transforming the city to world renowned Amsterdam or Hamburg.
    5. Dock being filled in as a convenient dump for waste material for the canal developer.
    6. Filling in the dock degrades the water based environment of the area for future developments.

    Look at the picture above. Above the West Waterloo Dock is the filled in Trafalgar Dock (this was supposed to be temporary). To the right of this was the Victoria and Trafalgar branch Docks that ran east-west. All three are now filled in. The canal was planned to run from West Waterloo from where the island is between West and East Waterloo docks, with the flats on. It was to go through the in-filled Trafalgar Dock into Collingwood Dock.

    They want to fill in all of the West Waterloo Dock and continue the canal to the right of the of the existing dock. This creates a large land area which they can sell off.

    It destroys the dock waters here. In the picture the large land area benhind the Eat and West Waterloo Docks are the in-filled: Clarence, Victoria, Trafalgar branch and Trafalar Docks. If that isn't enough for them they now want to fill in West Waterloo Docks as well.

    ENOUGH is ENOUGH.

    What they are doing is extending the land out to the river. This destroys any water based environment in which interesting advanced design buildings could be built around. The City on the Water we were promised

    Canal detail below. The picture of the Royal Iris at the bottom. She is berthed in the now filled in Trafalgar Dock. Ocean going ships from all over the world berthed in these docks. Now they want real ale drinking weirdoes with beards in tiny narrows boats to use the area. Pretty disgusting eliminate our history and Heritage.

    BTW, Waterloo Docks were where the American Packet ships berthed and took many immigrants to America - and they want it to become a tiny boating canal for narrow boats that have no history in the docks.

    So basically what they dig out for the canal they are going to put in West Waterloo dock rather than having to cart and dump elsewhere thereby saving money, and then sell off the new land for a huge profit as well.

    Default Send an email to all councillors

    What we need everyone to send an email to all the Liverpool Councillors. The list is below. What we need is for you to send an email requesting that the following three points are implemented.

    a) The filling in of West Waterloo Dock defeated. Planning application No. 06F/2292

    b) A cast in concrete policy that preserves all docks and waterways in Liverpool. How can we have a future city on the water without them?

    c) Excavating infilled docks when future plans are proposed to ensure the City on the Water. Harrington, Toxteth, parts of the Herculaneum, Trafalgar and Victoria docks can all easily be excavated and re-instated with top class developments around them.

    If you say so. Bitter and twisted as well. Should anyone not living in a council house be shot dead too?

    Its a pool of useless water with minimal historical significance to the modern metropolis of Liverpool .

    I want progress and to attract tourists. Fill it in, build a Canal.

    It dates from 1834. Waterloo Dock was the base of the American packet ships which populated the new world. Of course no historical significance whatsoever - that is why UNESCO made the whole lot a world heritage zone.

    Do you want arcade games as well.

    It is clear you are intellectually challenged, compounded by a Philistine mentality. Sad but true. Thank God people like you don't have influence and power. I forgot they do.

    You are right. We should make Liverpool a complete council house sink estate. Yes, that is what we need. That is the future. I have seen the light. Sister Anna carry the banner.

    Liverpools a world heritage zone based on Waterloo dock, and some water? ... Its meaning less, its not why Liverpool is Capital of culture... Fill it in, do future generations a favour, give them job opportunities, build a canal and create berths for canal boats, build canal side cafes restaruants and bars, breath some life into the area.
