The only way Liverpool Waters and Wirral Waters can be a success is by having rapid-transit rail run into them with proper stations - Merseyrail, using light-rail rolling stock. It needs access to the city centre, Lime St station, each Waters development and the airport directly. That was the success of Docklands in London - they built a whole new metro system there "first", the Dockland Light-Railway, then the developers flocked in. If there was no rapid-transit rail then Dockland would have flopped.
No need for new network here just extend into the complex, but if there is no rapid-transit rail run in, then this proposal will fail. Or is it a ruse.
Then expect an IKEA like shed on the site, like the Arena on Kings Dock.
I see as usual Peel had dock filling as a part of the original plan - land by stealth again - as is the case in Wirral Waters filling in half of Vittoria Dock.
They want a water city, without water?
It needs:
- Rapid-transit rail run in.
- No water space filling
They build around the waters.
If the approved Council plan has dock filling again, then advise all to protest and send in a complaint.
