Why aren't you working for one one of these quangos who think of how the docks should be? You have my vote.

: John, are you in planning or construction?
: If
: not then why not? I have seen nothing like
: what on this web site from Liverpool Vision.
: "vision" is a misnomer. Do you
: work for one of these agencies? Just
: wondering like.
:
: I am not in construction. Computer control
: systems was my field - controlling HVAC in
: buildings and even a whole new military city
: in the Middle East. Later commercial
: computer and consultancy - some strategy. I
: was born within yards of Brunswick Dock
: though.
:
: The web site has been mainly finding fault
: and to alert people to stop the rot. The
: West Waterloo in-fill has not gone away yet.
: An appeal may come in.
:
: I want to get my thoughts together on the
: next stage of the web site. A page about the
: in-filled docks - how they were and look at
: them now sort of thing, a great potential
: under our noses not realised.
:
: How we want the docks to be - deep water
: with visiting ships right in the centre.
: Few cities can have deep water ships berthed
: in the centre. Liverpool has it at the Pier
: Head and some small sea going vessels in the
: south docks. Central Docks has been reduced
: to a narrowboat canalway - shameful of the
: city to allow this to happen. The tall ships
: visiting and being at Princes Dock in the
: centre? Not now!!!! Canalboats instead.
:
: As much development as possible needs to be
: water based in the city, even if it means
: cutting out shaped canals from say Queens,
: Brunswick, Princes Half-Tide etc. People
: like living and working around water. The
: council seem to have totally forgotten this.
:
: Getting people interested in an idea of how
: the waterways should be is the first
: approach. It requires as many people as
: possible to embrace a collection of ideas
: and drive it forward.
:
: The best is yet to come......
