Garston News Views and Discussion

[taffy]

Definitely. Garston village is potentially one of the most attractive parts of Liverpool. A curate's egg of a place. It has a great potential and thankfully, St Mary's Road still has some good architecture left.

Because of the bypass it's a bit cut off. The view from the bypass of one or two buidlings sliding into dereliction is a bit off-putting, too. Currently St Mary's Road feels run down but it's amazing what a difference a few interesting shops can make. What happened to Alex Corina's idea to turn Garston into an 'artistic village' or something?

How would local people feel about bars and restaurants opening up? If it's anything like Lark Lane this will be far from universally popular.

One new cafe has of course opened in St Mary's Rd. Yes I'd agree about the architecture. The whole Garston Village area has a very interesting townscape and is well worth preserving.
