Stanley Dock

[Gerard]

Isn't that how this works? You talk about an issue, which leads to other issues being raised which you then talk about. If you look on the main Urban Developments page you will see a post that I placed called Outside City Centre, where I asked people to show images of projects outside the city centre and to talk about them.

I talked about an Issue and you never commented on it until I prompted you.
You were more Interested in Going on about How Lovely it would be and you never even Commented on that Lady's plight..
As I said..Shame on you..
Never mind Real peoples plights Eh..Lets talk about How Lovely Stanley dock will be for the priveledged who can afford the £400,000 or whatever they will cost.
I'll say it again...Shame on you.

Im shuttin up before we start a war

Yes its great the building will be saved. whatever we all think about its use.

Gerard i think it would be best to start a thread on the ladys plight, im sure it will recieve plenty of post.

Okay, that's your opinion, but no mater what you think, I do actually care about peoples' plight. All I am trying to say is that no matter where you are, there are always going to be people who suffer in some way and yes, something should be done about it and it is unacceptable. I wouldn't like it if it was me. I just don't like it when people use individual cases when talking about an issue. Yes she is in a very bad situation, but there are a hell of alot more who are in improving situations.

You dont like it when people use Individual Situations..Who is going to speak up for the likes of this woman...Definately not the likes of you who are more concerned about Lovely New Apartments and bringing people in from out of town.
Listen..I think me and you had better leave this at this..Id get up and walk away from you if you said that in a Pub..And so would half the Pub if they were decent people..End of on a good note.

yes, it is good that the building will be saved - that is the most important thing regardless of it's use.

As for that lady -- I don't know how she copes with living in those surroundings. I couldn't stand it.

OK, I do think it's good that you are highlighting this womans problem and as I said, her situation is completely unacceptable. Sorry if I have caused any offence, I didn't mean any.

Hey guys we have all had our say.

Stop it !!!..Got me feeling guity now..My appologies AK.

[AK1]

Can I just say, with no relevance to the previous issue that I do agree that there should be more things for people to do, see and explore, instead of just turning everything into apartments. The city must be opened up for the public to use and enjoy!

You don't have to apologise. Nothing you said was offensive, it is just your opinion.

What lady?

As I said before, I'm sure I see the connection between Stanley Dock and Anfield, etc. The firms funding these developments aren't charities coming to Liverpool to 'help out', they're coming to make money. I.e. they'll invest in a development and reap the rewards. Building houses in Anfield just wouldn't be as lucrative for these companies.

Yes it may sound harsh, but such is life. However, the bonus for Liverpool is that (if nothing else) three empty virtually disused warehouses are being converted into something good. This brings employment (if only temporary), more business to the area and will help to make Liverpool a nicer place by regenerating a rundown area, and also raising the loca house prices in the long run (yes, ****e if you moved out in the 1980s, but good if you stayed put).
