who pinched all the water

[Waterways]

The Liverpool Waters scheme, showing the extent of the waterspace filling. It is extensive and done gradually so most don't notice. The lost water acreage is highly significant. The latest land by stealth move is to hide the filling of West Waterloo Dock in a grand pie-in-the-sky scheme. There is an abundance of land on the other side of the Dock Rd which can merge with any grand proposal. The land contains small ramshackle companies - an area that should have been cleared decades ago.

Few of those glass block renders will be built in the Liverpool Waters scheme and the final result will not resemble that over-exaggerated proposal in any way. We will find that few will live around the quays and most given up to corporates to make money from - with the odd char-banc park on an in-filed historic dock. Don't be fooled
