I have written a comment piece over here, at Liverpool Confidential, about the start of the second public inquiry into the city’s Edge Lane West development.
The hearing which started today – and could run for six weeks and cost the taxpayer millions – will look at plans to clear 400 homes in the Kensington area of the city, to make way for improvements to the road that leads off the M62. Newly built homes would then be built in their place, financed by the Housing Market Renewal Fund.
It’s hugely complicated and there are strong feelings on either side.
