Liverpool Echo video interview with Mayor Joe Anderson Online report by Liam Thorp Updated 14:42, 18 JAN 2019: This is how Joe Anderson reacted to Liverpool Council's dramatic defeat over Calderstones park. We spoke to the Mayor of Liverpool after a humbling judgement from the High Court Mayor Joe Anderson has responded to his council's dramatic defeat over Calderstones Park by stating that the housing scheme he had backed in the area 'is dead'. The city mayor confirmed that any plans to build on an area of the Harthill Estate would now not happen - and said he would now work to enshrine the area as part of the south Liverpool park to avoid any future development plans. This morning it was revealed that High Court judge Mr Justice Kerr had found in favour of those campaigning against the council's plans to allow Redrow to build 51 houses on the land - and quashed two planning applications that had been granted by the authority's planning committee. Speaking to the ECHO today, Mayor Anderson said he fully accepts the decision and said the housing scheme is now dead. He added: "What the Judicial Review does is make it absolutely clear that the city council was wrong, the applications were wrong - we accept that and I want to assure people that from my point of view, there will be no building on it. "And we will go further than that, we are going to make sure that the land itself is going to be enshrined, by us, to be included in the park. The judgement may well say that is the case but we will make sure it is enshrined legally into the park." LOGS CIC / APEA CIC Friends of Harthill and Calderstones Park People’s Postcode Lottery award £20k to create Nature Reserve on the site of Liverpool’s world-famous Botanic Gardens. Players of People’s Postcode Lottery have awarded £20,000 to help create a nature reserve on the site of the Harthill Botanic Gardens in Calderstones Park. The funding comes from Postcode Local Trust, a grant giving charity funded by the lottery players. The site was at the centre of a major campaign over the now-abandoned plans to build luxury homes. The grant will transform the site, which became a Council Depot at Calderstones Park after the glasshouses closed. A fenced area of about 4 acres will become a publicly accessible part of the park. Native trees will be planted, underplanted with bulbs and a wildflower meadow will be established. They will be planted on a diverse range of lime based products laid on top of Biochar, resulting in carbon capture to combat climate change and improve biodiversity. An area of the old depot site will be left to “wild“ to encourage wildlife. Help in preparing the bid was given by The Mersey Forest, The Conservation Volunteers and Richard Scott, Director of the National Wildflower Centre based at the Eden Project. Charity Number 512692 Website http://friendsharthillandcalderstonespark.btck.co.uk/ Email [email protected] Page 1 The long-running Friends group was set up with the aim of conserving and enhancing Harthill and Calderstones Park’s environment and its appeal to the general public. Over 54,000 people signed a petition to show opposition to the housing plan. Following the scrapping of the housing project, the Friends have led a team of volunteers on a clean-up operation as part of its ambitious plans to open the site to park users. A spokesperson for the Friends' Group said: "This is a tremendous boost from People’s Postcode Lottery that will give our ambitious proposals for the site a really great start. What has shone through brightly over the past few years has been the tremendous love and affection people have for Calderstones Park. It is just great to think people will soon have access to a corner of the park closed off to them for many years. Our thanks to players of the lottery who have made this possible."
