Stonebridge Cross Scandal

On Thursday September 4th I attended a meeting with Croxteth Labour councillor Rose Bailey and local tenants & residents associations to discuss the recent collapse of the Stonebridge Cross development.

I was appalled by what I heard - the local community has been badly let down by the Lib Dem City Council.

I shall do all I can working with the community to create a long term solution based on a mix of housing, retail and community services. The Council must learn lessons from this scandal - a 9 - year blight on Croxteth. Of course one consequence of the failure to develop Stonebridge Cross is that there are fewer school age children in the area which is the reason the Council gives for its plan to close Croxteth School.

What a shambles and what a series of wasted opportunities.
