Hi Marie,
the noise that the kids are hearing, might be one of the gadgets that the police/authorities have been trying out? These things emit an annoying sound, but are only audible by younger people,(something to do with specific frequencies)and thier purpose is to discourage gangs congregating in particular areas/sites.According to your post, it seems to have the desired effect
There are several really. In Wavertree start with the Church of England's Holy Trinity, Church Rd; St Bridget, Lawrence Rd and St Mary, Victoria Park. In Childwall, Church of England's All Saints, Score Lane and St David's, Rocky lane.
Then of course there are the Methodists on Score Lane, United Reform Church on Lance Lane and the Congregationalist church on Hunters Lane. If you want your service in Welsh, then there's the Welsh Presbyterian Church on Heathfield Rd, Wavertree.
There may be others.
Hope this helps.
Thanx u very much!! and sure, u have wroten a lot of info, thanx for help, however!!
I can not understand here, in England, how I could know if a church is Protestant, Catholic, ...
I am sorry, but I do not know who are, the ideas, of the Methodist, the United Reform Church and The Church of England...
It's a long story to describe the origins of the different Protestant churches. In essence they all begin with the break of the Church of England from the Church of Rome in the mid 16th C. Roughly speaking the various other Protestant churches then formed out of the Church of England over the next few centuries. Generally they split off due to differences in some aspect of theology.
Most churches have signs outside telling you who they are. The Roman catholic ones in wavertree are Christ Church, Queen's Drive; Our Lady of Good Help in Chestnut Grove; St Hugh's in Lawrence Rd and Our Lady of the Annunciation Woolton Rd. The latter church is also called Bishop Eton but confusingly there never was a person called Bishop Eton !!

Go-ahead to bulldoze homes
THE Government has given the go-ahead for a Compul-sory Purchase Order (CPO) to bulldoze homes in Wavertree, Liverpool.
The streets included in the CPO are Scholar Street, Mulliner Street, Underley Street, Cantsfield Street and half of Tunstall Street.

Nice to hear common sense prevailed in the end, lets hope the government does what it had promised to do and give back power to local authorities, the same that is had happend here is the cause of a smilar situation in Lime street too. If a whole community had stood up against something then yes I agree, but for one or two individuals or even companys for that matter then sadly something has to be wrong, remember majority rule, I do hope that all those that move out get a good deal, but lets not be greedy and ask for hiper inflated prices. Lovely keep sake photographs, and remember regarding any homes, its how you look after them, just like your own health.

The council has run this area down over the last four years. Any homes that have become vacant have been purposely left to rot. Most of the owner occupiers are against demolition, the majority of the people in the area who get homes easily either from the council or housing associations don't care what happens as they will be rehoused. Note, I did say the majority not all.
Owner occupiers, will not find it so easy to find affordable homes as solid as these houses. I know of two houses in these streets which became vacant over two years ago, one of then the tenant sadly died leaving a beautiful three bedroomed home which a family could have moved into staight away. The other one equally beatiful, the tenants moved out of Liverpool because of thier jobs, this was another house where a family could have moved into, Believe me there were plenty of faminlies who would have been happy to move in, but NO the council decided to let them rot. I can't understand it, the council could have been collecting rent from these houses for over two years.
There are other houses which will come under phase two of the CPO'S
(which is supposed to be 5 years away) left empty.Why can't the council let these houses out and collect rent from them, I'm not talking about the houses where a lot of money would have to be spent to bring them up to standard, I'm talking about the ones which need just a bit of cleaning up to be habitable.
Chris, people run down areas not councils, yes perhaps funding has been a bit short on street maintainance, with regards to your idea about doing some up cheaply until the time comes up for demolition the only problem with that is the cpo process all over again. Whilst I do feel for those that have lost their homes, the majority opted to take the money and run, I am not sure of all the ins and outs of this project, but certainly in early stages alot of people I spoke too were very keen to get onboard with it. Housing associations are strictly governed by the housing corporation, in order to maintain funding for future projects housing associations are governed by what is termed as the "decent homes standard", this standard is set very high.
