I do want peels' development. I just want them to respect the dock boundries and deepen the docks. Create another marina.
The UN stated Liverpool has historic dock waterways, but no historic ships. There is few places, in one of the world's largest ports, with half of it redundant, to put historic ships. The council are fully to blame for allowing sharks like Peel to make the dock waters shallow for inland canal boats. What is needed is the Princess Half-Tide river locks re-instated and a few dredgers to get in them docks and deepen them. Then get some historic ships in there and ideal berths for the tall and visiting ships.



The Coberg lock gate is currently being refurbished likely to be completed in May now after a number of set backs. British Waterways don't have anywhere other than the albert dock (£200 to open and close the tidal lock to the river) for access to the river even for smaller craft.
The Brunswick river lock is there and is cheap for small craft. The Coburg lock, anyone any pics?
