The people of the Lodge Lane area have a right to feel that their taxes will go some way to sorting their area out. Yes, the garden festival site is prime real estate land overlooking the Mersey with uninterupted views etc so there will be private investors interestred in it, perhaps a new road tunnel or bridge could have gone there instead of the cannon fodder council tenants in the north end.
Bully for the council that they are in a position to sell off this land to private investors, short sighted of them not to get the best possible price for it and use the money for less prime sites like Lodge Lane, Kensington, Kirkdale etc and get all, not just parts of the city up and running again.
I don't think houses should be built on that site. The more I look in to it, the more I believe that Liverpool council has never been run by people who care.
