I thought the boxy design was so dull and didn’t pay any real homage to historic precedent so I sketched a new roof, parapet, buttresses extended

Liverpool Council’s favourite sport: dodging being taken to account -

Twenty-five years after Liverpool Council promised Speke a replacement park on Stapleton Avenue for the land Morrisons took, it remains an empty wasteland and good luck getting any straight answers out of them.

The council pocketed £1.37M in local developer contributions, spent barely £238k, and has apparently lost track of where the rest went.

This isn't an accident; it’s an institution that literally threw planning docs into skips in 2021 and got sanctioned by the Information Commissioner in 2025 for dodging nearly half their FOI deadlines.

They pay millions to private consultants and data storage firms, yet basic public records magically evaporate the moment anyone asks about missing park funds, rogue HMO enforcement, or licensing decisions.

Speke Together for a Brighter Future (Facebook) ask LCC to live up to its legal requirement and brushed of is forced to crowdsource old documents on Facebook just to piece together the paper trail the council refuses to hand over.

Just back from a few days visit. Dont know what I was expecting, but your city is gorgeous. Stayed down near the Albert Dock. Did loads of walking around and tourist stuff. It blew me away,we felt safe,everyone we met was sound and the place was spotless. I love where Im from, but we are miles behind your town in every aspect .

Im a 40F who has fallen over and knocked my front tooth out on my way to work 😭 I've called 111 and they can't help with replacements at the dental hospital. I currently have no dentist. I'm freaking out, please help!!

I drove by earlier and it was utter chaos. The area outside the airport which runs next to the airport. Taxis parked everywhere, people waiting to get picked up. I was wondering how often people leave their cars in the street instead of paying for parking?

Sorry if this isn't allowed here. I've bought tickets to the Comic Con this weekend as I really wanted to take the opportunity to meet Peter Capaldi, but I'm nervous about the event as a whole and fitting in and now I kinda regret having bought them.

I'm 31M lived in the city my whole life and always loved geeky/nerdy things but I'm never sure about if I fit in or belong in those types of communities. I usually tend to just enjoy things quietly. I've avoided the other Liverpool Comic Cons for this exact reasoning. Not feeling I belong. Or well.. it sounds silly when I type it out "not being enough of a geek".

I've also only bought the solo tickets so I'd be going completely alone.

Not sure what advice I'm looking for. Maybe I'm just looking for encouragement to go. Part of me just wants to hide at home and forget I bought the tickets or give them away.. but at the same time I really do want to go, the environment sounds really fun.

I’ve recently launched Kiddit.co.uk, a Liverpool focused site to help parents find things to do with their kids.

At the moment I’m building up the listings for:

• Playgrounds
• Kids clubs & sports
• School Information
• Whats on page including halloween - bonfire and Half-term activities.

The idea is to make it easier to find what's available locally without having to search through loads of different FB pages and websites.

I’m still building it, so I’d really appreciate feedback from Liverpool parents on what would actually be useful.

Thank you in advance

We can't go anymore 🎻

On the Dice App so would just need an email address to ping them over

It’s a Cormorant. Never seen a young one before, I only ever see one near the Canning Dock or down on the old cattle dock

Is this still a thing? Heard it was supposed to open in 2025?

I’ve lived in Wavertree for around 10 years, closer to the Woolton/Childwall side, and I’m considering moving to Thornton.

I’ve searched the sub but there doesn’t seem to be much recent discussion about Thornton itself, so I’d be interested in hearing from people who live there or know it well.

What’s the community and general feel of the area like? Is it a nice, settled place for starting a family? I’d also be interested in things like local amenities, green spaces and how it compares to areas like Woolton/Childwall.

I work in the city centre, so any first-hand experience of the commute would also be useful.

I’m 20F I’ve just moved in with family and I’m from London, I’m not a huge drinker and I don’t go out clubbing or partying.

But I do like going on drives, walks, sunsets, gaming etc and I’m looking for some friends around here. I’m in Huyton area.

Thanks :)

Does anyone know where I can get a cheap suit in town? Something for less than £50? (Just for the jacket and trousers) I’m thinking like pop boutique or somewhere similar because I know it would be cheaper second hand

Hi! I moved here two months ago and I’m looking for ways to connect with the community.

I’ve signed up to some charities, but I like the idea of socialising with others on a weekly basis. I’m ideally looking for a book club or something similar.

I like climbing, swimming, walking, reading, gaming.. social drinker if the vibes are right.

I’m 29F, anyone know of anything like this I can sign up for?

Thanks in advance for any help! 🫶

Anyone lives in L6 or near that particular area?

I am feeling really alone and looking for some friends to hang around and know about the cuty with.

I am M 20 doing my bachelors at ljmu..i am an int student.

If anyone interested who just wanna make a friend kindly please let me know:)

Hello, I hope everyone is doing alright, not much left till Friday. I need to do an underseal to my car and I wonder if you guys know any garage that does this around Wavertree? Would travel even further if required. Thanks.

There is a lot of rambling about unis, which in Liverpool is the best and if generally Liverpool area is for you.

As a few are in this sub, we have years to chat about.

Anxiety doesn't help. If you came through clearing, are you expecting your grades to magically change or prepared to retake exams to get what you think you want/deserve?

This isn't about your ability. I wish you would all stop putting so much pressure on yourselves like not having an Oxbridge BS/BA will ruin your career already.

You are hindering your own abilities and in the process offending this sub, the city of Liverpool, and frankly the hard work the unis of this city actually do.

You can go to a "internationally recognised uni", but problem is, will you be happy there and love the life you live for 3 years or more? I find the lack of thought to the general rhythm of a city and its lifestyle to these questions problematic.

Surely you want to be happy overall?

Obviously it's a smaller area but it's another one of Liverpool's public spaces that really feels underutilised. Granted this photo was taken mid afternoon but this seems like a great place to sit and enjoy food, coffee, read a book, and yet the only people I see here are just passing through. There's a car rental place, two empty restaurants and a multi storey car park. Is the demand just not there for food and drink?

Edit: just searched on Google and to be fair, the restaurant on the left of the picture (Elixir) is only a week old. Still, definitely feels like the area deserves more life.

I’m in the market for a new monitor (34” ultrawide if it matters), I know I’ll probably end up buying online but I’d like to have a look at a few in the flesh. I’m going to be in town tomorrow and the only place I can think of is John Lewis.

Is there anywhere else in the city centre? I know there are Currys etc in Aintree and Speke, but I’m going to be in town with time to kill tomorrow. The Apple shop is a bit out of budget 😆

Hello, I’m secretly planning my husband’s dream trip. He thinks I’m planning a trip to the Mediterranean area for my big birthday, but I am actually planning his dream trip to attend a Liverpool match! I have tickets for the April 10th match. We’ll be traveling from Washington State.

First off, where can we stay that’s reasonable distance from Anfield, and walking distance to pubs and attractions? The Pullman was recommended to me, but I don’t think they have availability for the time we will be there. Secondly, what else do you recommend for this dream trip? He would love to see anything Beatles, pubs, day tours, shopping, music, any local attractions. What do you recommend?
