Posted by John on 8/24/2006, 10:45 pm, in reply to "Wanton Destruction" --Previous Message-- Great points. It is best all to go to the "Filling in of West Waterloo & Princes Docks" page on the web site and send an email to Jon Woodward at planning. The more who individually send an objection to the filling of West Waterloo Dock the better. Also contact UNESCO and object to the violations.
: John,
:
: Congratulations on producing such a great
: site and raising the issue of the docks.
:
: Liverpool docks are a fabulous resource that
: are a legacy from our forefathers to the
: people of the city. They were built by men
: with talent, vision and skill, qualities
: which are sadly lacking in leaders past and
: present. They are being squandered by petty
: officials who allow themselves to be
: influenced by 'money men' whose only concern
: is short term gain.
:
: Not withstanding the bombing, what is
: happening to the docks is typical of what
: has happened to Liverpool since the war, it
: has had it's heart ripped out by people who
: are clueless. As an ex merchant seaman I
: have seen many of the world's great sea
: ports and can say that most of them improve
: with age, any develpoment which takes place
: adds to and compliments previous
: characteristics, culture and infrastructure.
: Not Liverpool,.. how many people who left
: the city even twenty years ago could come
: back and find their way around? not many I
: bet.
:
: With your knowledge and vision, you should
: be put in charge of the city planning
: department.
