I see they're going to put a Hooters in one of the gorgeous buildings on Water Street.  Someone really needs to shoot this council leadership - they are fucking criminal.

NZ House it is mate. Apparently Joanne Anderson voted against it and spoke out about but the planners still put it through!

Terrible.  Can we train the weapons on the planners instead?  In fact, thinking about what those cunts have facilitated over the last 40 years, the guillotine is more apt.

Awful decision to put the Hooters Bar in NZ House. Nothing says lost UNESCO heritage like chicken wings a stones throw from one of the most famous waterfront’s in the world.

That article on the old demolished buildings is terribly sad, i agree. I broke my leg when i was 5 years old and got taken to Myrtle Street Hospital, and then later on i was transferred to Heswall Children's Hospital, to this day i have no idea why, i can only assume it was for the recuperation phase or that they had more room there. My only memory of the Heswall one was that they had an old fire engine and potentially other vehicles for the kids to play in in the grounds. Both hospitals are sadly no more...

About 6 or 7 years before my dad sailed on the Empress of Canada.

I used to work in the Cotton Exchange. The frontage on Old Hall Street now isn't the worst thing I've ever seen, but it's a fucking monstrosity compared to the original.

Outta town, but I find it fascinating that Emelia went for a swim there.

It's interesting to see how coy they are on the subject of the people who were picking the cotton for those early decades of the booming growth of the Liverpool cotton trade.

spent a night in that Bridewell once for D&D behaviour.  I was 16 or 17 I think.  It's now a hotel.

I bet they literally wiped the slate clean on your release.

Emelia Clarke, the dragon lady from GoT. She is filming something around Sefton.

She looks a bit different but still very attractive.

It's only the second photo Emilia Clarke is in, top one is Laura Whitmore.

You can't dictate which users use a building under planning except in the most specific of circumstances (htis wouldn't be one of those). But you can control what the use is. 

 

E.g. A Butchers, or even a flagship retail shop like John Lewis can become an Ann Summers or a Sex shop, with no change of use required no planning control. Just like an old pub can become a Spoons. Just a change of operator, nothing else. Licencing can control that to a point, the landlord/landowner can control that in total

 

If the use was deemed acceptable under policies dictated by the government and local council, then its fine. I assume its the user rather than the use you object to?

 

Agree it looks cheap, but its solidly not the planners fault.

I think you'll find the land owners/developers financed it, the architects designed it, the politicians approved it. All of these parties had a greater impact on the subject. The planners perhaps shaped it, perhaps improved it, perhaps made it worse, but they are not the most culpable.

 

They work in a framework (the policies) provided by elected officials and decision at the executive level are decided by elected officials. Maybe these non-expert politicians shouldn't be making these policies and decisions, because we know they're already sick of experts and know better, right?

Her names at the bottom of the picture mate, I'm not that much of an expert perv (I don't think so anyway)!

You probably know better than me mate, I know she spoke against it, maybe I misread about who'd approved it, apologies.

Not at. No issue here 
 

She doubtlessly did speak against it, but those councillors voting on it are politicians not planners. 

 

The whole system is set up that the planning laws are made by politicians, policies chosen by politicians and then most important or contentious decisions made against that framework by politicians.
 

So it’s kind of annoying to hear that ‘planners’ are to blame. it’s just a lazy trope that suits everyone to blame someone else.
