Stanley Dock

[Gnomie]

I disagree. How do you know they don't want to mix with locals? I don't see how local people are pushed out of the city centre when a lot of the developments are new housing that wasn't there before. Ask yourself, why would people want to move to the city? Surely regeneration is a good thing? Let's face it, Liverpool no longer has any industry, so students, tourism and regeneration should all be embraced. Strangely though I see lots of resentment for students and people who are 'not from around here'.

Plenty of times I see people on here complaining because Manchester get this that and the other, but if you want to keep Liverpool 'for locals only' it's just not going to happen.

I have my opinions and you have yours.



I lived in Faulkner street with the students for 8 years, i drank in student hangouts and had a ball with them, half my family are Irish, many live in the Wirral. my best friend is from Sevilla. i dont think i have anything against people who are not from this city. I dont like jolly boys coming here and taking over, i have done lots of work in the Albert Dock apartments, mainly for solicitors, bankers and business people. money people will live in the Stanley Dock. Liverpool is the place to be for them at the moment, will it in 5-10 years?

what about the people in areas like Norris green, croxteth, anfield, dovecot, dingle etc,etc, what does it mean to them? are these new apartments helping to stop crime in their area? catch the drug dealers? stop the joyriders?

also the Stanley Dock area was once home to thousands, are they being remembered in any way by this? will they build anything to show the history of the area? my ancestors worked there, they where very poor but survived the hardships. will they be remembered ? i doubt it. Thank god for the Scottie press for showing it like it was. i think they should give the flats to all the locals who stayed on in the area. make them affordable for locals to buy.
fat chance .

I now work mostly on the outskirts of the city. the people are real there.
I have a long term plan that will see me move away one day, how i hope it comes sooner.

Power to the people
