Property Week on Liverpool Planning

[Waterways]

English Heritage is a discredited quango run by hooray Henries with no concept of the needs of real 21st century cities.
Anyone see the recent documentaries where these bozos wasted millions of taxpayers money on unwanted stately homes and those eyesore flats in Sheffield? Laughable.

It is laughable. One thing that Ts me off is millions spent on house sin the country, that few see, to keep Lady Muck and hubby, in clover.

Why are our local bodies absolutely unable to provide Liverpool with the kind of public transport systems it needs?

Docklands in London was a success because the infrastructure was put in by the gvmt. House/land prices are rising, already, around the new stations on the London Cross-rail stations, and they are opened yet. Transport infrastructure encourages investment.

"All sorts of run-down areas will become attractive once the new services start. The Metro article refers to West Drayton, Stratford and Romford, Canning Town and Slough, where developments are already popping up, ready for purchasers to sit on and wait for the value to go up."



Look what Liverpool has, and 80% is in place. It would cost a fraction of Cross-rail:

The Echo and Post do not seem to know what is best for the city, going along with any half-baked tatty development and lauding it as wonderful. The shout loudly about trams because it was new, not because they were any good - which they are not. They are reactive not proactive. They can't figure it out.
