The Local papers are at it again filling front pages with old news without really explaining all the facts. Telling us what the council want us to know.
pic Liverpool gateway to the world at the glamorous Langton Dock...Customs shed.
This is the gateway shed from Liverpool for all those travelling on a cruise at present.
Bon Voyage.
The full situation could be explored much better with a FOI request as to what was negotiated in 2006 between the City Council and Peel Holdings.
They, Peel Holdings, allowed...yes allowed the public to use the road adjacent to the cruise liner facility instead of it being CPO'd by the council like they did in the Albert Dock with access to the new Arena. This is why you can still be clamped down there as it is private property.

Sir David Henshaw, Council Chief Executives said: "This is a very important and exciting development which is being delivered for the city. Along with the other developments taking place it means that the waterfront will be a major visitor destination.
"This has been a highly complex scheme because of the number of different interests involved but by working together the partners in the scheme are going to deliver something which is very important to the future of the city and the region."
Lindsey Ashworth, Development Director of Peel Holdings says:-"All stakeholders have been working extremely hard to ensure that the Cruise Liner Terminal goes ahead. It's not been easy but we were all confident that solutions and compromises would be made for the greater good of Liverpool.
"What is important is that this is seen as the start of the regeneration of the entire waterfront from Pier Head through Central Docks and beyond.
"To attract these cruise ships from exotic and far away places, we have to provide a waterfront that is befitting the great City of Liverpool.
"Peel intends to keep the momentum of regeneration going forward by creating a vibrant and exciting waterfront with buildings and public realm of the highest quality and so adding to Liverpool's attraction.

IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE NEGOTIATIONS WERE NOT IN FAVOUR OF US THE PUBLIC BUT PERTINENT TO PEEL KEEPING THEIR LANGTON DOCK FACILITY WITH A POTENTIAL FOR THEM TO INSTALL THEIR OWN FACILITY...shown on their plans.
