St Andrews Church, Rodney St-Liverpools Heritage At Risk No3

How can a City watch a Grade II* listed building deteriate to such an effect that it is a shadow of itself. But it now has a shed on it. http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/search?q=sheds+direct  English Heretics describe its condition as "very bad". The old Presbyterian Church on Rodney St now gets a shed on its heavy ballustraded attic. John Moores wanted to use this as a library and resource centre after it was on fire. John Moores were promising to make it structurally safe and give it a fresh vibrant use. Common sense one would think...no Steve "Ronnie" Corbett at the waste full Liverpool Conservation (sic) Office wanted to store his garden tools and lawn mower on the top of it. So the whole scheme was kyboshed. Now at this precise moment there will be a load of shifty developers waiting for it to completely fall down while Chris Griffiths the waste of space masquerading as the buildings at risk officer pots his geraniums up there. It is a waste, an absolute waste. This building was designed and built by John Foster Jr in 1823. This is a picture what it   looked like only a couple of decades ago. Its decline was swift. What is Berni Turner the so called English Heritage Champion doing...well not a lot really.
