124 Mount Pleasant, Liverpool, Branch Closure Review Our Branch at 124 Mount Pleasant, Liverpool University, Is Closing in September 2019 124 Mount Pleasant, Liverpool, Branch Closure Review Our branch at 124 Mount Pleasant, Liverpool University, is closing in September 2019. We know that the way our customers do their everyday banking is changing. To make sure we meet the future needs of our customers and local communities, we’re looking at how we can make changes. We’ll be investing in some branches to offer better branch and digital services and opening some new ones, but unfortunately this does mean closing some too. Following a careful and full review, we’ll be closing our Liverpool, University branch in September. How we made this decision Our decision to close this branch was made following a detailed analysis of: • how our customers are using the branch, including how this has changed • other ways our customers bank with us • assessment using local knowledge of alternatives available to customers, including proximity of our nearest branch • impact on our customers including those who may need additional support • whether we own or lease the branch building There are a number of other branches you can visit, the closest one is our branch at 2-12 Lord Street, Liverpool, L2 1TS. You can also use our new Liverpool city centre branch which is due to open later this year. This guide will tell you more about the review and our Partners will be happy to answer any questions in person.

  • Liverpool Development Update
    LIVERPOOL DEVELOPMENT UPDATE November 2016 Welcome Welcome to the latest edition of Liverpool Development Update. When I became Mayor of the city in 2012, I said that Liverpool’s best days were ahead of it. If you consider the levels of investment being seen across the city today in 2016, my prediction is now ringing true. Since the start of 2012, we have seen over £3.8 billion worth of investment which has brought new businesses, new homes, new schools, and new and improved community and health facilities to Liverpool. We have seen the creation of nearly 15,000 job spaces, many of which will be filled with new jobs to the city. We have also created thousands more construction jobs. There is more good news. Several major new schemes are now in delivery mode. I am pleased to see rapid progress on Derwent’s Liverpool Shopping Park at Edge Lane, whilst Project Jennifer is now well underway with construction about to commence on its new Sainsburys and B&M stores. In addition, Neptune Developments have started work on the Lime Street Gateway project, and I can also report that work is underway on the first phase of the Welsh Streets scheme that will now see many of the traditional terraces converted to larger family homes. Meanwhile, some of the new schemes have started under the Strategic Housing Delivery Partnership which will build a further 1,500 new homes and refurbish another 1,000 existing ones. Plans for new schemes continue to be announced. The Knowledge Quarter is to be expanded with a new £1billion campus specialising in FRONT COVER: research establishments, whilst we are now also seeking to expand the Commercial Office District with new Grade A office space at Pall Mall which this city so vitally needs.

  • Liverpool Residential Development Update
    LIVERPOOL RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT UPDATE October 2018 Foreword 2018 has been a significant year and turning point for Liverpool’s housing market. Named as one of the friendliest cities in which to live, it seems that more and more people want to live here and the city’s population is now rising. A recent report by the Centre for Cities stated that Liverpool City Centre’s population grew by over 180% between 2002 and 2015, the highest percentage in the UK. We have a clear need to build new homes for that growing population. Based on our current estimates, we need to develop 30,000 new homes by 2030. Since I became Mayor in April 2012, over 9,500 homes have been built by both the public and private sectors, with more than 5,000 of these being homes I promised under the Housing Delivery Plan. I am also happy to report that all of our targets for bringing empty homes back into use have seen almost double the target actually being achieved. Over 8,000 new homes are currently being built on schemes that have commenced, and a further 25,000 either have or are seeking planning approval. On top of these, several thousand more (such as at Liverpool Waters) will be coming forward for planning approval in the next few years. Whilst the Strategic Housing Delivery Plan is already past halfway to delivering 1,500 homes, we have now set ourselves a new target of building a further 10,000 homes as part of our own new ethical housing company “Foundations”.

  • Time and Good Fortune? Adaptation and Re-Use in Liverpool1 By
    Time and good fortune? adaptation and re-use in Liverpool1 by RICHARD HILL The term ‘adaptive re-use’ is now used routinely in discussions of the conservation of historic buildings.2 This article applies the term to case studies of individual buildings in the City of Liverpool. It then applies it to larger historic landscapes, and to landscapes of housing in the city. The article concludes by discussing some of the social and economic problems that the city currently faces, in the context of ideas of conservation and re-use. FROM THE CITY CENTRE PLAN TO ALBERT DOCK The post-war reconstruction of Liverpool city centre, part of which had been badly bombed, lagged behind that of other major cities, a delay which in 1962 prompted the Corporation to appoint Graeme Shankland as Planning Consultant. His final report was published in 1965. It incorporated a number of pre-existing proposals, notably the Ravenseft scheme for the demolition and redevelopment of St John’s Market and the surrounding area, which opened in 1969.3 The Plan included a scheme for an Inner Motorway, a modified version of the Council’s previous proposals for an inner ring road, proposals which would have caused considerable harm to the coherence of the city centre. Shankland’s scheme would have caused its own kinds of harm particularly in separating ‘Georgian Liverpool’ from the city centre but in the event only a fragment was built and the Inner Motorway idea eventually was abandoned. Proposals were included in the Plan for a new civic centre, adding a third side to the monumental complex of civic buildings already existing on William Brown Street.

  • Residential Development Update
    Liverpool City Living Residential Development Update November 2016 Foreword Welcome to this latest edition of Liverpool’s Residential Development Update. This document takes a closer look at the many housing schemes being built across the city. 2016 has seen housebuilding activity across the city ramped up even further than before. Some 1,740 new homes have been built since January 2016, significantly higher than the 1,144 over the same period last year. This consists of 700 homes under the Housing Delivery Plan, 84 under the new Strategic Housing Delivery Partnership, and 940 private sector properties. Of the £151million worth of schemes completed since January 2016, almost £100million of this has been in the Neighbourhoods, double the value spent in the City Centre. I am especially pleased to see the private sector now doing so well and keen to build homes here without any Council assistance. With some 4,311 homes currently under construction and 11,912 proposed by the private sector alone, this proves how attractive Liverpool is to property developers and investors armed with the knowledge and confidence that the city has a healthy residential market populated with people both keen and able to buy. Of course, demand for new homes comes from increasing wealth and jobs being created here; something which we as a Council have been working on for some considerable time in a city where a total of £3.7billion has been invested in major developments over the last 4 years. Liverpool is also establishing a good record in improving its existing housing stock. Across the city, homes are being refurbished and empty homes brought back to life with exciting and innovative schemes.
