George. L1, Wirral Waters, New Museum - can you provide figures for what the council has paid towards these at the expense of the ordinary people of Liverpool.

Here though is what the council have done. Fought a three year long legal battle over Edge Lane which cost millions as well as the actually demoltion of houses and road widening works - all for the betterment of the car - rather like the destruction of Scotland Road for a tunnel and hundreds of tenement flats for an 8 lane inner ring road called Byrom Street. I agree with your angst of how money is not better spent but I just think you're targetting the wrong people and apportioning it to the wrong buildings.

Chris. Whilst I agree that we all have our own opinions on whether the shape, or height or colour or the finish of a cladding on a building is all down to personal taste, I wonder where this misplaced perception of 'what it has done to the 3 graces' comes about. Can someone please explain to me what it has in fact done to the 3 graces. Perhaps brought more people down to come and see them judging by the attendances at the museum?
