The creation of an 800-metre linear park on the former Dock Branch Railway line in the town could begin next August. 

Plans to beef up the visitor experience at the North Liverpool destination are to go before the council's culture committee this week.

Mersey Heat, part of Peel L&P subsidiary Peel NRE, plans to lay a further 1.5km of underground pipes in preparation for the development of the Central Docks neighbourhood, part of the £5bn waterfront masterplan. 

The agency has recommended the city be stripped of its World Heritage Site designation next month, claiming Peel L&P’s £5bn project will “irreversibly damage" the site. 

Take part in the fourth Vertical Salary Review of North West property and construction professionals to receive early access to the findings and be entered into a draw to win a pass to a year of events, including the sold-out Place Party.

Heritage conservationists appear to have won the battle to preserve Abbey Cinema on Church Road North after the supermarket giant withdrew plans to demolish the building when it was granted grade two-listed status. 

Having won approval for a new £500m stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, the football club is seeking consent to incorporate a grade two-listed hydraulic tower into its plans for a fan park. 

From 24 June, Place North West will be bringing property people back together again at conferences, social gatherings and debates.

The city council is to enter into a partnership with Fields in Trust to safeguard 2,500 acres of Liverpool's parks against future development, while the city region expects to approve a plan to kickstart its aspirations of becoming zero carbon by 2040.
