Great wesbite! I am a History student at the university and this website articulates ver well many of the uneasy feelings I've had when walking down the docks and seeing the new developements, especially the multi-story car park at King's (shudder). I don't have any experience in objecting to political and corporate decisions/actions, so what can we do to get the message across that the docks need to be much better developed and respected? I'd very much up for taking part in something, and it looks like we need as many people as possible like John, to speak out. As a side note, I recently read a very inspiring book called "Soil and Soul". In it, Scottish writer and campaigning academic Alastair McIntosh shows how it is still possible for individuals and communities to take on the might of corporate power and emerge victorious. A reccommended read to anyone who's taken an interest in the saving of the Liverpool docks as this book shows that individuals and small goups can still stand up to 'the powers' and defeat them.
