The council hearing to re-open the section of Lower Breck Road by March Road has been scheduled for 9.30 Tuesday 11th Aug in Millennium House, Victoria Street The overwhelming majority of residents wanted to have this section reopened, as we do, but the situation was delayed due to one objection that has required a Committee Hearing We believe the re-opening will reduce gangs hanging round at this location and improve traffic flow in the Month Roads author: Steve | 07/20/09 20:38 | comments Car Wash Woburn Hill Green Lane

Labour’s Richard McLinden said he was “disgusted” the panel gave Cllr Phil Moffatt the go-ahead to retain the railings, despite planning policy which stated they should not have been attached to the Grade II-listed Churchill’s Food Emporium, in West Derby Road, Tuebrook. The railings were put in more than two years ago after youths were seen climbing onto the shop’s roof and attempting to rip out electricity cables. Cllr Moffatt installed them without planning permission and was told because the building was listed, they would have to be taken down. But yesterday, despite officers’ recommendations to refuse the application, the committee approved it. Labour committee members argued the council would not have approved the application if it had not been made by a member of the ruling administration. But Cllr Moffatt received strong support from Tuebrook councillor Steve Radford, who said it was “rich” for the council to be taking a dim view of the railings when it was accused of often failing to enforce against other breaches. “I feel there is political mischief going on here and I do not like it from any quarter.” But Labour committee member Cllr Anna Rotheray was adamant the railings should come down. She said: “Cllr Moffatt knew this would be revisited and he may have to replace them. “It is like one rule for the man in the street and one for council members.” But planning chairman Cllr David Irving denied the claim of political bias, and said he “barely spoke” to Cllr Moffatt. author: Steve | 07/08/09 12:49 | comments 20-bed asylum house rejected by Liverpool planning bossesJul 8 2009 by Marc Waddington, Liverpool Echo Add a comment

A HOME for up to 20 asylum seekers in a residential street has been blocked by city planning bosses. The application to convert the former home for 12 mentally ill people in Newsham Drive, Tuebrook, attracted objections from the public and councillors. A letter of objection from one resident who had previously lived next to asylum seekers stated that “for a considerable number of months, it proved impossible to explain that it is totally unacceptable to urinate out of upper floor bedroom windows on to our front garden.” author: Steve | 07/08/09 11:04 | comments Tuesday, July 07, 2009 Local Community Events Meetings: Woolton - (Here to Help You Event) - Thursday 9th July 4.00 pm - 5.30 pm Tesco, Allerton Road, Woolton, L25 7SF Belle Vale (Here To Help You) - Friday 10th July 10.30 am - 4.30 pm , Belle vale Shopping Centre, L25 2RF Clubmoor - (Your Community Matters Health Awareness Event) - Monday 13th July 5.30 pm - 7.30 pm, Active Age Centre, 179 Townsend Lane, Clubmoor, L13 9DY author: Steve | 07/07/09 09:32 | comments Saturday, July 04, 2009 True ID Cards Agenda
Press releases saying the government has backed down on ID cards is deliberately misleading at the very time their real agenda is to press ahead with more intrusive powers. On Wednesday 8th July 2009, the House of Commons will vote on a group of three ID-related Statutory Instruments* including one called 'The Identity Cards Act 2006 (Provision of Information without Consent) Regulations 2009'. The other two establish fees and penalties that can be applied to anyone registered on the ID database. We urge readers to write to their MP *NOW* to get them to vote against these key pieces of secondary legislation. The 'Provision of Information without Consent' regulation would give powers to the Identity and Passport Service to pass on information it holds on you to a host of other agencies WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT. This information would include not only official document numbers, and personal details like your name, addresses and signature (more than enough to facilitate massive identity fraud) but also your fingerprints and even - to the police, intelligence services, taxman and ANYONE ELSE THEY AUTHORISE - details of every time you had had your ID checked, e.g to register with a GP, open a bank account or apply for credit, or travel abroad. Your medical and financial dealings conveniently tagged and indexed for further snooping. Having your personal details open to half a million civil servants is hardly privacy , but government having the right to sell it on without our consent is an outrage - protest before its too late Cllr Steve Radford Liberal Party NEC author: Steve | 07/04/09 11:35 | comments |
