New Everton Stadium

[Tipp blue]

From Historic England... "The proposals would significantly affect a World Heritage Site, which has the highest level of heritage protection and is internationally significant."

As if anyone else in the world apart from Historic England care about filling in a dock that no one outside of Liverpool is even aware of.

Lol I just posted that I know nothing of the docks. I could name Kings dock and Bramley Moore dock. I only know of these because of Everton, so that tells me that these groups are trying to stop the one thing (Everton) that's actually promoting the docks internationally. I've been to Liverpool loads and have never gone to the docks.

Not being from Liverpool I know nothing of these docks except that the new stadium will be in class location for getting the ferry as a foot passenger over from Dublin.. are the docks used? Unused? Are they a tourist attraction? Did anyone really care about what was happening at the docks before the planning application went in?

Some of the docks were developed decades ago, and are an attractive and visited thing.

BMD is utterly deserted and useless.

edit. Oh, other than a sewerage plant.

They just want to keep it as square miles of derelict land.

Apparently a look made popular by our lovable neighbours and their carbunkle ground.

if they are a govt funded quango I think the should be subject to FOI requests for things like the makeup of the committee

I emailed them again and asked could they state why they wouldnt answer and if it is possible to get the names on the committe under FOI.

Ha ha I think they annoyed at me already.

Just ask who their FOI officer is and put in a formal request. They have no choice then.

I bet they didn't object to the destruction of historical Goodison. Would be weird if they didn't.

Surely the docks will be linked to slavery of some sort? Perfect excuse to tear it down and replace such evil?

The docks are only 40ish years older than Goodison too

Apparently the Victorian society are not happy with the BMD project.

To be fair they're only just now getting over India getting independence

These particular docks were built years after slavery and the slave trade were abolished

Maybe thats because it's very difficult to preserve wooden structures?

Edit; Sorry, I shouldn't joke about something well loved

It's only the joint first purpose-built football stadium in the world. Nothing special about that...

Whereas a dock that has one right next to it, built at the same time that is going to stay and will have all its historical bits restored and be available to the public is far more significant that it's left untouched.
