    LIVERPOOL CITY REGION COMBINED AUTHORITY To: The Chair and Members of the Transport Committee Meeting: 5 November 2020 Authority/Authorities Affected: All EXEMPT/CONFIDENTIAL ITEM: No REPORT OF MERSEYTRAVEL MERSEY FERRIES UPDATE NOVEMBER 2020 1. PURPOSE OF REPORT This report is aimed at providing a summary of key activities within the Mersey Ferries, including an update on progress of the long-term Mersey Ferries Strategy. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Transport Committee note the contents of the report. 3. BACKGROUND 3.1 The details within this report provide an update of key activities at Mersey Ferries over the last 12 months, including work associated with our response and recovery from the Covid-19 outbreak. For details on specific performance on passenger numbers and financials, please refer to the corporate quarterly performance report. Operational Update and Performance 3.2 Work had progressed well over the Autumn and Winter period of 2019/20, preparing the vessels for their annual survey and planning arrangements for our busy summer season planned for 2020. The plans saw the highest ever number of special cruises planned on the river, including evening cruises, Manchester Ship Canal Cruises and Liverpool Bay Cruises. 3.3 The detailed planning was interrupted with the outbreak of Covid-19, which resulted in a reduction and eventual closure of Mersey Ferry services. The River Explorer (our daily leisure cruise) was cancelled on 24 March 2020 following the national lockdown announcement and the service moved to a cross river commuter service. Following the low number of passengers and reducing demand, the service was suspended fully 30 March 2020 – see chart below for reduction in demand.

  • Regenerating Liverpool Pier Head Waterfront: the Role of Urban Design
    City, Culture and Architecture 2015; 1(1): 21-38 ISSN: 2148-1938 (Print) ISSN: 2149-8202 (Online) DOI: 10.15340/2148193811851 Research Article Regenerating Liverpool Pier Head Waterfront: the Role of Urban Design Mohamed Fageir1*, Nicole Porter2, Katharina Borsi3 1 2 3 University of Nottingham, UK Abstract: This paper investigates the processes by which the regeneration of the historical Pier Head waterfront in Liverpool took place during the first decade of the twenty-first century. The research focuses on three key regeneration projects at Pier Head Waterfront, namely the Fourth Grace, the New Museum of Liverpool and Mann Island Development. Each of these projects has undergone a relatively different process and, hence, faced different challenges and produced different outcomes. This study is based on a series of lengthy interviews with key stakeholders closely linked with the regeneration of the waterfront, a review of project related documents including urban design policy and guidance, a substantial review of relevant news articles that were written throughout the period of the recent transformation of the waterfront, and numerous site visits. By understanding the peculiarities of the global forces that drive large scale developments and the local context in which they occurred at Pier Head, several insights regarding the process of regeneration emerge. Findings foreground the role of urban design in urban waterfront regeneration, illustrating that despite the complexity of managing change, urban design has the capacity to mediate between the local and global forces and the needs/ desires of investors and local communities. Urban design is also imperative for challenging the negative impact of globalisation on the urban landscape.
