This was expected. The CPO was always going to be quashed because it was worded wrong. LLDC are putting a new CPO together, which will more than likely be approved. These campaigners have saved hundreds of homes from demolition so that they can rot for even longer. These houses will never be lived in again, and I have a genuine fear that those houses will still be there in that state, in 2008. What is that going to say to visitors? ' Welcome to Liverpool, the grimey dump that you always thought it was '. The vast majority of people in that area want these houses gone, because their lives are being ruined by the road and the lack of local amenities. This section of Edge Lane is extremely dangerous because of the road and other factors such as squating, rats and anti-social behaviour. I just hope for their sake that the next CPO is approved, and fast!! I am fed up with these people getting in the way of major developments. They have proposed an alternative road scheme which is frankly bizzare and wouldn't improve safety or traffic flow. In their plans the new road would stay in the same position but be widened by [B]taking the front gardens off some houses! Therefore the road would be a matter of inches from the houses and they really think that people are going to live in them then? This has only ever been about saving the houses and nothing else. I would love to see them saved but it can't be done and no-one wants them because of the road and the previously mentioned problems.Originally Posted by Kev
