Ok, another one of Pablo's fantasies!!
I've another quick fiddle with Google Earth and come up with a little idea for regeneration of the Brunswick area of Dingle.
So basically, this consists of two parts: Brunswick Village and Brunswick Quays.
The Village would involve the renovation of existing terraced homes in the form of providing a subsidy to the owners to enable them to replace windows and doors, add insulation, repair/replace the roof, add solar panels and refurbish the front of the house. New homes would be constructed in a Neo-Victorian terrace style to match the feel of the area. The village centre would be like a mini Cheshire Oaks - outlet stores, restaurants and cinema along with cafes, pubs and a leisure/sports centre. Some apartment blocks around the village centre too. A supermarket would be built on Sefton St (preferably a Morrisons or Sainsbury's as there's a Tesco and Asda nearby).
The Quays would involve the relocation of the business park (although to where, I don't know :lol
and the excavation of the dock. The industrial units would then be replaced with the same type of apartments and houses found on the neighbouring marina. There'd also be bars, restaurants and hotels around the river front and the quayside. This would create a uninterrupted river walk from Princes Dock down to Cressington - it's currently just the business park (and to a lesser extent, the giant surface car park between the HMRC building and the arena) that 'disrupts' the walk between the city centre and Otterspool.
So what do we think? :cheers:
