Is Steve Rotheram. Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor-The Man That Loses Liverpool World Heritage Site Status.

 Its a straight forward idea. Lets get rid of World Heritage Site Status for Peel Holdings.

You build a stadium in the World Heritage Site that, if built, UNESCO say, would be against the spirit of World Heritage. World Heritage is a principle to be upheld for future generations. 

If you destroy a World Heritage sites Overall Universal value this would lose the world heritage site status.

 Yet the Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram supports its removal. 

Whilst crying crocodile tears! 

What have we been telling you for over a decade. 

Now he plays the victim.


Labour are a rancid organisation in Liverpool and Mr Rotheram is of course the highest Labour official in the land. Resigning his Westminister seat to take up the prestigious post. 

Yet despite representing the people of the Liverpool Region he decides to take it upon himself to support Peel holdings.

Not very clever Mr Rotheram. In fact really stupid. 

The title of World Heritage puts Liverpool up there with The Taj Mahal and The Pyramids. 


While he laying bricks as an apprentice bricklayer Rotheram obviously did not become any sort of architectural expert. His office is in one of the infamous Black Coffins at The Pier Head.

Peel Holdings who are the landlords of the BBC at Media City Salford want the World Heritage site status removed so they can do what they want. They have various lobbyists in Liverpool.

John Whittaker never does an interview and the BBC dont push him for one.  Read his profile here.

It is alleged that Mayor Joe Anderson was up to all sorts. Right in front of Mr Metro Mayor Rotherams blind eye.

Rotheram's majority was greatly reduced at the last Mayoral election. Does that not tell him something.

Now he hails how disappointed he is that Liverpool is to be stripped of World Heritage Site Status. 

Yet he is one of the people who had the power to stop it. Just who does his PR.


Shame on you Mr Rotheram. Its not your title of World Heritage City to sell down the river!

Joe Anderson. Brings Shame On Liverpool.

 Commissioners to take over the running of the corrupt planning system.


We have put tens of thousands of hours work in collectively trying to save Liverpool's World Heritage Site from its Carbunculation. 

How long have we been telling you.

Fighting the council each step of the way. 

And all the time the fat man along with his mate Frank McKenna (who must be bricking it as he is next) wanted to lose it.


So his mates at Peel Holdings could get what they wanted. A free rein to do what they like. So they could build Shanghai On Sea. How much was he and his Mark son paid?

The police are ongoing with their inquiries.

And in a city that is now full of tenement slums of the future and where the Listed Buildings now look alien in their own environment because the planners were being pushed to develop council land the size of a matchbox on the side of the road. You can get away with anything.

Where the Head of regeneration Nick Kavanagh was taking bungs.

Remember the Council sold St Andrews Church to a convicted fraudster for a quid.

Where Fat Mans mate (who must also be bricking it) Lawrence Kenwright tried to get StLukes Church. A monument to the blitz to turn it into a wedding venue. They would have succeeded if we were not on our toes

The fat bastard has recently said “I have never taken a bribe in my life”. It now transpires that his spawn is in on the deals. Andersons son is a dab hand of using his Old mans name to grease his own palms.

Its like going back to the 80's with the other corrupt bastard Derek Hatton bringing the shame on the city.


He has also been arrested. Maybe he wont get off with it this time.

Did he show Anderson how to try and get away with it?

Remember his court case, in the 90's that he didn't put up a defense to, and got off with it to his own surprise. Remember McKenna's court case that he got away with to his own surprise. Are they all going to Jail?

And all along The Liverpool Echo have been promoting all the developments that fat scum was behind. Giving McKenna and Hatton columns in the Echo....to help them. And in so doing every time we created an argument AlastairMachray and Tony McDonough and the rest of the mugs that work there helped them to smooth it out to the gullible people who, actually buy the rag.

We are writing to Merseyside Police today to request that they look into the links between local politicians and the press with all its associated PR companies.


Why did Wendy Simon as acting Mayor allow the planning application for Bramley Moore Dock to be rubber stamped. A Joe Anderson pet project for Peel Holdings that will lose Liverpool World Heritage Site status. That Unesco and English Heritage say should not go ahead.

The city has been allowed to fester with property developing maggots feeding on Liverpool's Heritage Carrion. Are reporters not suppose to be stopping this not assisting it. You should hide your head in shame AlastairMachray you could have stopped it.

It is a absolute disgrace. We are watching you too. This wont be the last you hear of this.

And what of all the other developers who paid the bungs to get the planning permission that are now millionaires. That were usually the clients of Jon Egan and his staff at whatever PR company he runs. You are on our radar too.

The corruption goes right through the whole of Liverpool's feeding frenzy fiends that have turned Capital of Culture into Culture of Capital and brought shame on this great city. I hope they all like porridge.


I have to thank our tireless colleagues who have never given up the fight for Liverpool's skyline and now we are getting somewhere.

We may just save the World Heritage Site Status.

HAS THE LIVERPOOL ECHO FACILITATED CORRUPTION?

 AND IF SO IS THIS BY DEFAULT OR WITH INTENT?


The once great institution has been dragged to a new low in our opinion, under the dodgy stewardship of Alastair Machray. It seems the intelligence of the paper has plummeted to what many believe to be an all time low.

Look at tonight's headline and front page The Fat Man with a microphone singing  "Regrets I've had a few" for his final finale.

A insult to the good people of Merseyside.

There was a certain respect for the journalists at the Liverpool Daily Post but when Machray closed that great institution and sacked the staff, he lost the intelligentsia of the organisation. And there is the massive decline of reporting in the city of Liverpool.

Though the decline of the Daily Post had began with the first lady editor Jane whatever her name was. She was obsessed with Debenhams and shops coming to Liverpool. This was continued by Mark Thomas and his PR push for The Duke of Westminster. 

When the Duke was investigated over the visiting of £2,000 a night hookers in London. Nothing was said by Trinity 'Smoking' Mirrors of Murkeyside.

When questioned he replied;

“We cant print anything unless its true”

He was informed.

“Well all the national Sunday papers believe it to be true Mr Thomas”

Its not what you print but also what you don't that corrupts your soul.

https://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2011/12/save-liverpools-world-heritage-site.html

https://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2009/07/banned-from-daily-post.html

The writer intended to fight heritage battles in good faith but they soon discovered there was not a level playing field on which to conduct oneself.

That Sir Trevor and Lady Doreen Jones had been helping themselves for decades, even being bold enough to attend the Duke of Westminster children's wedding.....and live on his estate.

https://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2009/03/undeclared-interest-of-jones-vote.html

This was known by all the local journalists down at Oldham Hall street where they used to print the paper. Yet not a word was said. She would be the determining factor on numerous important planning applications that would make the developers millions. 

When, as Chairperson of the planning committee she had to vacate the chair because she knew the applicant, The duke of Westminster, not a dicky bird by Machray and Co.

This is just an example of many occasions where the truth was with-held by the local editor.

The writer was told by one of his colleagues that Mark Thomas the editor of the Daily Post was “out to lunch” with senior officials from Peel Holdings who were then putting the application together for Liverpool Waters.

This would be the springboard for the rise of Uncle Joe Anderson. This combined with the well run campaign to restart cruises from the new cruise liner terminal gave the fat man column after column in the papers....all free.

It takes a while to see how the system works and get to know all the developers PR companies but when you do, you start to understand that there is a sequence of events, stage managed in front of all the plebeians who fed the comments section provoked by the same PR companies who understand that with their fees covered the more they create an argument the more they can PR the developers out of it. 

And in Liverpool they all love a good argument. My god some of the comments were cringe. And these commentators were led like uneducated fools into the new beginning of Liverpool, like little 'Larry' lambs.

By creating an argument you can win it. That is the way the PR companies work and with an editor who is aiming for argumentative topics, they couldn't lose.

Take for instance, October Communications now Aurora media from Hanover Street. 

They fed stories into the papers with great aplomb becoming that friendly with some journalists that they gave them jobs, employment even.

 Larry Neild, the City Editor, does anyone remember him, let himself down so badly. He joined them we then knew why he was devoting so much time to the Mann island Development. 

Because October communications were Neptune Developments PR consultants.

 Jon Egan was the mind behind Joe Andersons Mayoral campaign. We only found this out by making a freedom of information act request over something else and a bill for some T-shirts came up. You can smell the deviousness of their manipulation of the advertorials that were spread out page after page. They were the PR for the Lime Street development that caused such controversy.

The Liverpool Daily Post gave a whole page to Frank McKenna, who had at one time been up on fraud charges. He introduced so many business people into the paper with advertorials that were being paid for by the membership of Downtown Liverpool In Business. 

This was very lucrative for McKenna and his influence grew. 

A member of the Labour party. Numerous companies joined his organisation. 

So Trinity Mirror turned into Trinity Smoking Mirrors on Merseyside. 

The big con job was played out in plain sight.

https://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2013/07/frank-mckenna-is-alastair-machray-his.html

We decided to use Private Eye and stop winning journalists awards such as David Bartlett for his, errr our writing. They could see the Murkeyside of politics in Liverpool.

The Liverpool Echo was sinking to an all time low.

http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-liverpool-echo-sinks-to-all-time.html

Ben Hatton, son of Derek was running a PR company with a book of clients and this was purchased by Trinity Mirror Group.

Now this seems innocuous at first glance bu when you look at it in context full it means that, The Liverpool Echo is promoting its own clients with its constant advertorial approach. These articles would be packaged up by thinkers who know how to play the system.

But when it boils down to it. There is a payment of sorts at the end of it. 
And any conflict of interest would be disguised. 
So is Derek Hatton working for the Echo, well the company he fronts is owned by them.
 He was given a column. Where is the justice in that.

https://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2016/08/are-mayor-joe-anderson-and-derek-hatton.html

It is with regret that we declare that we consider, in fact  J'acusse Alastair Machray as an enemy of the people of Merseyside while masquerading as the editor of a local paper all he has done is look after the vested interest of the minority of carpet baggers who have fed like vultures on the carcass of council contracts under Il Duce himself. Uncle Joe Anderson.

So now they will tell you what they want you to hear.

Now Derek Hatton has been arrested by Merseyside Police. How can we trust the writing he has been paid for in his weekly column. How can we trust an organisation who employs such as he.

Listen only to the truth, so there is no point in reading tomorrows chip paper.

Just look at today's headlines. Instead of reporting the shame placed on Liverpool by Joe Anderson and his acquaintances, some of who are Echo fifth columnists they report, with front page headline, that the fat twat is doing us a favour by stepping aside.

They helped put him in power! Only the Liverpool Echo could report this way.

There should be an investigation into the clowns at the Liverpool Echo.

Derek Hatton Arrested. The Badly Dressed Shyster From The 80's Puts Liverpool Back In The News Again.

 AND ONCE AGAIN FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS.



WE TOLD YOU WHAT WAS GOING ON.


https://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2016/08/are-mayor-joe-anderson-and-derek-hatton.html

As determined citizens we worked tirelessly to bring the truth to these pages.

Now real shame on our city comes home to roost.

The Mayor is arrested along with the militant clown from the 80's Derek Hatton.

While the Tories have been promoting the need to have Regional Mayors, the Mayors they promoted, seemed to be doing what they like. This the scum we get though.

https://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2011/12/joe-anderson-youre-scum.html


Richard Kemp even voted for a Mayor. Can we trust him?

While Alastair Machray, actually its a disgrace to call him Editor of The Oldham Echo, has been PR'ing it all for the Council. 

They were fed lines and jingles by the likes of Jon Egan from October Communications and Aurora Media in Hanover Street.

 https://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2014/06/brewery-village-liverpools-shame.html

https://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2011/03/liverpools-world-heritage-site-pearls.html

How great it would be to cover the historic city centre with tenements of the future.....most of which are now a badly clad fire risk. 

While we told the truth they printed lie after lie.

They collude to destroy the World Heritage Site so the oligarchs, mostly Evertonian guappo  can have a new stadium. Its worse than Napoli here in Liverpool.


https://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2014/04/joe-il-duce-anderson-gets-handbagged-at.html

Frank McKenna. Lawrence Kenwright, Neptune Developments, Eliot. There are more.

Nick Kavanagh and Elliot Lawless Arrested on Bribery and Corruption Charges.

Both were released after questioning on conditional bail.
Police arrested Mr Lawless, aged 32, at his city centre flat. 
That he has spent one million pounds, yes a Million pounds restoring from its ex council office style 1960's building into his new swanky pad.
This pad overlooks Joe Anderson's offices at Cunard Buildings.
SHOULD THE POLICE CHECK ALL THE DELIVERY NOTES TO THE ADDRESS OF HIS APARTMENT and is THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT SOME OF THE MATERIALS MAY HAVE BEEN BOOKED ELSEWHERE??????? 
THEY, and the HMRC REALLY SHOULD CHECK AS HE HAS SOME PUBLIC FUNDED CONTRACTS. 
Why was he given the contract to restore publicly owned properties?
 Is there where the alleged misapropriation has taken place?



Mr Kavanagh, aged 50, was arrested in his office. He was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and misconduct in a public office.

Mr Lawless was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud, bribery and corruption.

Mr Kavanagh was appointed director for regeneration at the city council in 2011 and is in charge of the city’s major regeneration schemes.A Merseyside Police statement said: “A 32-year-old man from Liverpool city centre has been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud, bribery and corruption.

Police said “Whilst a 50-year-old man, employed by Liverpool City Council, has been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and misconduct in public office.”

Mr Lawless said: “This is a frustrating turn of events as we are extremely busy delivering major schemes across the north.

“I’m helping the police fully with their enquiries and am more than happy to do so. It is important that I clear my good name quickly and that we move on from this.

“The allegations are completely baseless but due process needs to be followed and whilst the police do their work I’ll not comment further on the issue.

“In the meantime, it’s business as usual. I have seven live schemes in Liverpool to deliver and am back at my desk doing just that.”
YES HE WOULD SAY THAT OR IS IT WORDS CONJURED UP BY HIS PR COMPANY. 
Which may or may not be run by Jon Egan and co who also PR personally for Joe Anderson and the council and several publicaly funded bodies.
Mr Lawless, a former plumber, who drives a Bentley is the founder of the Elliot Group which is working on major schemes in Liverpool and Salford.

Schemes include the £170m redevelopment of Heap’s Rice Mill, the £100m redevelopment of Wolstenholme Square, the £100m Aura student scheme and a scheme including 1,000 apartments on Leeds Street in Liverpool.
https://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2016/08/heaps-rice-mill-letter-to-joe-anderson.html
Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson said: “We will co-operate with the police unequivocally and will assist them in any way that we can."
Yes he would say that wouldn't he.
He was recently questioned by Police.
Why has frank McKenna from Downtown Liverpool in Business gone quiet these days?????







It was Kavanagh that Joe Anderson said brought to his attention the fact that Cunard Buildings were up for sale and they should move the whole council from, the quite newly build council offices on Victoria street and sell the block to Lawrence Kenwright. https://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2018/09/lawrence-kenwrights-carbuncle-shankly.html

Maybe another investigation should take place. 
This corruption goes right to the top in our opinion.






Here is a couple more we did earlier

Josh Parry-Shoddy Journalism. Following a Long Tradition Of PR @Trinity "Smoking"Mirror

Its only a matter of time before, like a Banksy Rat jumping ship, the new kids on the block at Trinity "Smoking" Mirrors, or as know locally The Oldham Echo take the path to PR and print exactly what the council want them to.
Take a look at todays offering.
The Futurist is demolished despite huge public opinion and they are now to keep a breeze block.......and thats suppose to be news headlines, Come on!
Josh Parry you should be ashamed of yourself this is shoddy journalism indeed.
Now the "new kid" starts helping the rehabilitation process of the city council and their "Cosy" developer mates Neptune Developments after The Futurist was demolished in an act of Civic Vandalism.
 This is no more than an advertorial piece of trash.

Josh you may still be in short kecks and be getting your nose wiped by David Bartlett but there are no excuses for this level of dross that have filled the Oldham Echo pages on the 13th September 2016. 
Unlucky for some, but there are many gullible Echo readers. 
In fact you would have to be gullible to buy the trash.
http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/david-bartlett-takes-city-council-to.html

Shoddy journalism may be encouraged by Alastair Machray but once that corner is turned into the abyss of "hear no evil speak no evil", there is no turning back.
do a dance with the devil and you know the outcome young Josh.
 It takes years of training to become a Liverpool Echo double dealing two face PR. allowing themselves to be spoon-fed like little children by local dodgy property developers PR molls who are well seasoned in manipulating the new snotty nosed kids on the block.
Not mentioning any names. errrr Jon Egan and his mate Mo.
Remember Liam Murphy and his PR spin for Peel.
 In this internet age, he was happy telling the whole world that Peel have an investor, Stella Shiu, a high ranking Chinese government official who was protected by Kalashnikov wielding bodyguards. Who we exposed as a bankrupt in Hong Kong.
So now we have Josh Parrot stating that by knocking down the Futurist it is opening up new exciting views of the city. Yes parrots just repeat what people tell them.
You should be ashamed of yourself. Just look at the Stazi blocks that you can now see. Have he been out the office in the last year.
http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2009/08/concourse-house-one-step-forward-and.html

He is now stating that a Banksy.........may have been found. Yes may have been found.
What a plant, and its worked.
The caption next to the cartoon, even reads "This is not a Banksy" and he still thinks it may be. 
There is one born every minute.
Here is yesterdays post. This is where the headline is, you clown.
http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/joe-anderson-spends-2000000-to-demolish.html
We will not believe a word he says in future.
 This article is a disgrace to the many good journalists out there who try to do decent work.
Parry may not like it but if he takes the time to have a long hard look at himself he this criticism may do him a favour. Though I suspect not.
Alastair Machray who has sacked more than half the staff and sent the printing press to Oldham, has obviously had to edit this trash. But he is a large part of the problem with little or no respect.
http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/alastair-machray-apologises-but-its-too.html

Boycott The Echo you know it makes sense.

Lime Street Plans Passed-Spiv Anderson says "Its Great News"

 Only in Liverpool could a set of plans that would destroy a whole cityscape be passed and the Mayor says thats great.
Spiv Anderson is not the most educated of people in the manners of architecture but even he cant be that thick. It is an architectural abortion.
WE DONT TRUST THE SAVE THE FUTURIST CAMPAIGN who capitulated and then said these plans were alright.
Were they orchestrated by Jon Egan and Archetype Studios, the shady backroom PR for Neptune Developments. Who worked for Joe Anderson in his Mayoral campaign.We think so.
Why did the developers allow them to put a placard up?
 To cause more controversy because they want controversy. Controversy equals public funding for Neptune.
There will be a bit of grant farming going on here for sure. A FOI will find out how much public money will go into destroying a whole street Yes we know it wants developing but not with this rubbish. Dont forget the Grapes and the Vines bookend this street and there are several listed buildings in the vicinity.
Is it also true that one of Neptune Developments directors used to work for the Liverpool City planning disgracement. Neptune are the vandals that built the Mann Island black coffins lets not forget the mess they have made of the city.
How many city scapes are going to be ruined by inadequate planning tht is told what to do by spivs looking after their mates.

This is a sad day for Liverpool a World Heritage Site.

LIVERPOOL CITY COUNCIL HERITAGE LIES.



This is a picture of a property that has been left to rot, and now the roof has fallen in. So while parts of the rest of the Baltic Triangle are being PR'd by back room organisations such as Archetype Studio Liverpool. when they were known as Aurora Media, worked for Joe Andersons as PR during his Mayoral campaign, this is reality.  The council just told all the media that the council have a good record on the Heritage At Risk in Liverpool. This was lapped up by the Echo and the Two man ( and his dog) band at Liverpool Confidential who didn't even question the figures or how they were arrived at. The council said that the buildings at risk figures are below the average for the country at 3% while the national average is 6%.
They used a method to calculate the figures that was a shameful attempt to deceive the public. 
And it did so because it deceived the media.
 If you can call Liverpool Echo and the likes of Confidential Media, with its trolls.                                                                                                                                                                   
This is the reality away from the Heritage Lies propagated by the city council.
Rob Burns should be ashamed of himself.
Rob Burns is running the planning department and is a dangerous man to Liverpool Heritage. 
 Liverpools historic warehouses are falling down in The Baltic Triangle, and will be left to fall down so that grubby property developers such as Neptune Developments or others will be able to get their dirty hands on the land.
Just look at what has happened to Bridgewater street. It has become an architectural abortion.

 This has developed while Uncle Joe “Stalin”Anderson spins rubbish about it all is happening there in the Baltic Triangle.
What is also alarming and should be considered, is
 by the media before they run with spin is that there are numerous historic warehouse property's in the Baltic Triangle that need saving. Just look at Heaps Mill they were about to knock it down, right next to a site now owned by Neptune Developments that was was owned by Trevor Jones and was home to the last ships chandlers in the city

This property is a strong looking property it looks as if it has been a bonded warehouse at some stage with its iron doors. It has very interesting iron transoms and should not have been allowed to fall into this disrepair. It is next to safestore the storage facility and is on the corner of Simpson Street and Norfolk Street. This is an obscure part of town that is not frequented by many people which is how it may have fallen under the radar.

What is even more alarming is that it has been owned by the city council for decades and is now about to fall down. 
And all we hear is rubbish about lies about how the city council is preserving historic buildings.



















CLOSE BY IS ANOTHER WAREHOUSE JUST WHERE LEY RUBBER USED TO BE BEFORE THEY WERE PRICED OUT BY THE DEVELOPERS IS FALLING INTO DISREAPAIR.

Baltic Creative Or Baltic Architectural Abortion?

How can such a small enterprise Baltic Creative  get so much publicity? and who is behind the motor mouths of Baltic Creative?

More importantly. Why is the city allowing such an architectural mess to develop in the Baltic Triangle. While the mouths at Baltic Creative “cover up” this mess by spooning the good news that this is a vibrant area we have to look at the architectural abortion that is Bridgewater Street. Here this end block called Libertas really is taking a Liberty or is it the Micheal?
 It has to be the worst piece of architecture ever built.
There are no words other than a Carbuncle to describe it.


Is Grant Butterworth Liverpool's recently appointed planning manager…....hand picked by Joe “Il Duce” Anderson, really doing his job or just allowing anyone to build anything?
There are good things happening. But Baltic is still a dive. It was a blank canvass so why throw a load of paint on it. There was a big fuss when a small artisan bakery opened up there. Yet not a mention of Antonios Bakery which supplies half the city centre. How long before they will have to close and move to a cheaper are and the bakehouse is flattened to make way for yet more flats?
The new commerces that are claimed are happening seem to be made up of massive blocks of student apartments. 
These apartments are like shoe-boxes.
 It would be like living in a Formula One hotel room.
Coincidentally the horrid architecture of the Formula One (the cheapest hotel chain in France) and the Ibis Hotel, overlooking the Albert Dock are now starting to look like the best quality in the area, against the sad blocks that are being crammed into every piece of derelict land left over from Lady Doreen and Sir Trevor Jones business ventures with Windsor Developments Clever Trevor and Dot who teamed up with the Windsor con men but ultimately this led to the land repossessed by Barclay's Bank who passed it on to Carbuncle Builders Neptune Developments.
Is it Barclay's Bank under the offshore umbrella who are doing the developments in that area?

 These developments that will possibly make Heaps Rice Mill listing as Grade II a waste of time because it will now be swallowed up by the slums of the future that are being built in the Baltic Triangle by Neptune and Co?
And if you listen to, or are taken in by the brazen press releases of that said Baltic Creative, that are lapped up by the local hacks, looking for any good news with which to swindle what's left of the declining readership.
 Or what is left of the hacks that have not been made redundant by Trinity “Smoking” Mirrors very own grim reaper Alastair Machray. Peter Elson the shipping correspondent gets made redundant in the year that he helped bring the Three Cunard ships into Liverpool. Theres Thanks for you,
 How can you sleep at night Mr Machray?

J'accuse Baltic Creative for spreading themselves over the area, pretending everything is fine and rosy, on purpose. Being Property developers Molls. Clouding the issue, making everything look rosy, giving people tinted spectacles.
They are a CIC with charitable status without being accountable as a charity is.
They are funded for sure, we wont go into their finances here.
And then there are the feeders such as grant catchers Engage Liverpool who slither themselves around any where, to anyone will give them a grant.
Gerry Proctors credentials in setting himself up as a planning adviser (sic) in the Baltic Triangle, along with several other areas are simply to make money in our opinion.
Altruism is in short supply where grants are available, in our opinion.
 Engage have been funded by Neptune Developments and at every opportunity Proctor will PR for Neptune.
 He has also done the same promoting for Peel Holdings and  Liverpool Waters, yes the proposed development that has got Liverpool on the World Heritage In Danger List.
Being funded by the City Council and lottery funding, we can state quite categorically that we do not trust the motive of this sinister organisation Engage Liverpool working behind the scenes.

So the place known as the Baltic Triangle is now being redeveloped and Joe Anderson says it is thriving.
All we see is a load of blocks of shoe boxes, and a new MacDonald's, oh, and a new KFC.
While Cains Brewery has been used as a cannabis farm.


But you don't have to believe us if you don't want to.
You can believe Baltic Creative and the PR rubbish that is spooned by Jon Egan and his mate Mo of Archetype Studios or is it Aurora Media or October Communications who gives a jack, who also PR for Neptune Developments and Cains Brewery owners the Dusanj Brothers, that sacked all their workers,
Oh and they were Joe Anderson's PR firm for his Mayoral campaign, they have also been the city councils PR at various times.
 http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/liverpool-daily-post-what-price-free.html

Its circles again it should be renamed Baltic Circle not Triangle, such is the incestuous relationships being played out before your very eyes and lapped up and spun with a shovel by the Oldham Echo.


Lets see what it looks like when its finished shall we.
One thing is for certain there is some creative accounting going on there.

Save Heaps Rice Mill-Its Too Good To Be Demolished.

How many more historic structures can the city lose. laying there like a ghost of its former self, a working mill up to 1988, the owners of Heaps Rice Mill have let it decline.
It has recently sprouted a roof garden. Now they are to do us all a favour and demolish it.
Plans have recently been submitted to down it and make way for some bland shoeboxes.
Liverpool lost 46 listed buildings under the Fib-Dems led by Mike Storey and Warren "War Zones" Bradley.
How long can this go on.
Liverpool today is prostrated before the Unesco World Heritage committee who are meeting in Doha, Qatar. Where we are promising them we know how to manage a World Heritage Site.
Liverpool is on the Unesco World Heritage In Danger List.
We thought Heaps was listed, which is why it is still standing while all around it has become bland. This area was once, as recently as the 80's home to many small businesses (most of which were owned by Sir Trevor Jones and his Moll Doreen).
Windsor developments were Clever Trevor's Partners In Crime. They crawled all over this part of Town. The Ships chandlers that he and Dot demolished after a application to list it was made was Liverpool's last. The same site is now owned by Neptune Developments.
Greenbergs Outfitters was also demolished, and is now a car park.
So who is going to put up a fight to save this historic structure, who cares?
Lets hope there is such a swell of feeling that the building can be spotlisted and Joe Andersons developer mates can be sent packing.

October Communications now Aurora Media or is it Archetype Studios were the PR for Windsor Developments.

All this while Trevor and Doreen "Partners in Slime" lived next door to the Duke of Westminister.


So who is watching whats going on with Liverpools Historic past. Certainly not Steve Corbett or Chris Griffiths at the now none existant Liverpool Conservation office.

Cains Brewery Est Morte-J'accuse The Dusanj Brothers.



Cains Brewery has been ransacked for scrap.
Today we witnessed the huge brewing vats being craned out and driven off for scrap. 

Never to brew again.

The Dusanj Brothers destroy our history. 
PR'd by shysters who care about nothing but a fee.
PR people who would sell their grandmothers for cash......who care little for jobs or heritage......just money.
Feeders to the local press who dont do the work to confirm the full extent to the economy. Just report what they are spooned.


How can they get away with this act vandalism right in front of the eyes of Joe "Il Duce" Anderson the, Mayor Who will probably give them a grant out of the Mayoral Development fund because they belong to his mate Frank mcKenna's crew at Downtown Liverpool In Business.
 Someone needs to check out whether they are getting council assistance.........our money to do this??????



Take a look of how the incestuous relationship is unfolding between PR and Mayors office.




We are allowing them to destroy a brewery to create a Tesco or some other supermarket that will put another load of small businesses to the sword.

Archetype Studio Liverpool-Are They Just Your Archetypical Bullshiters or Just a Property Developers Moll?

Oh no, its that man again.......Jon Egan.
The ginger nut is back, bullshiting his way through the press again this time Alan Weston.

What happened to all his other media companies. October Communications. Aurora Media PR etc………must check at company’s house.

It seems he does not have a lot to say about the finances of his own companies.

Now along with fellow PR agent Liam Fogarty (who helped get Joe Anderson elected, was he paid to start the debate for a Mayor by central government) he is organising a jolly at the Baltic Triangle.
https://bdaily.co.uk/creative/11-11-2013/liverpool-x-to-attract-international-creatives/  with the likes of Will Alsop who came up with the pathetic Fourth Grace idea that led to the Three Black Coffins on Mann Island.

Stephen Bayley is also there he said the black coffins would be good for Liverpool in the Guardian in 2008.

Free lunch specialist Egan likes to entertain the local press but I don’t think he dines with Bill Le Breton any more, just what did happen there between them two.
http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/liverpool-daily-post-what-price-free.html

Egan was October Communications..Was Aurora Media.....Now he is Archetype http://www.archetypestudio.co.uk

And they have a philosophy http://www.archetypestudio.co.uk/Philosophy

The world is changing rapidly. There are no fixed points, nor ready made strategies and solutions. Communication is more important than ever, but traditional creative disciplines are often too fractured and specialised to respond to a world of complex connections. Increasingly, successful organisations, businesses and brands are those with an essential and distinctive story; those that are able to build and sustain relationships with customers and stakeholders that are more than merely transactional, but have a deeper core and durability.
Archetype is a company configured to the new communication landscape. 
Our approach is:
To go deeper! - Provide more thoughtful and intelligent analysis to clients to guide their approach to communication and business development.
To go further! - Pursue creativity and innovation to the end point, and recognise that every new challenge requires an original solution.
To look wider! - Understand the broader context in which our clients operate, identify critical relationships and help them navigate rapidly changing landscapes.
To underpin this mission, Archetype will always be:
Professional and passionate - we promise total dedication and loyalty based on relationships of mutual respect and integrity.
Nimble and inventive - we’ll be alert and responsive to change, open to new methods and consistently looking for more effective and original solutions.
Ethical and progressive - we’ll conduct all relationships with stakeholders and clients ethically and with a commitment to delivering the best environmental and social outcomes. We believe our reputation and that of our clients is ultimately founded on how we behave not just how we communicate.

If you believe this bullshit you will believe anything.

http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/liverpools-world-heritage-site-pearls.html

Its all pearls before swine though

Now Egan is organising a load of unrelevent twaddle in the Baltic Triangle possibly on behalf of some shady property developer as he always seems to do.

http://www.downtownliverpool.com/business/aurora/

Did they PR for Downtown Liverpool or where him and Frank McKenna just mates?

Is he PR for Cains? Is he the PR to railroad all those poor people who lost their jobs at the brewery?

Don’t believe a word of what this company says.

They archetypicaly go on.


Less Noise, More Meaning
http://www.archetypestudio.co.uk/lessnoisemoremeaning
We are a creative company that doesn’t define what we do by the tools and media that we use and we don’t measure success by the amount of noise we make. We create and communicate things that are original, relevant and meaningful. We use intelligence and creativity to help clients discover and express their essential values and build the relationships needed to flourish and prosper. There is already too much noise in the world. We want to make meaning.


Egan has been employed by the city council, Liverpool Vision, Neptune Developments and the corrupted Merseytravel.
 He was employed by David Wade-Smith to PR the black coffins on Mann Island that now houses Miserytravels headquarters. and now he rounds up all the usual suspects to bullshit their way through another load of toss and make it sound relevant.
 But we don’t believe you.

All PR together who is funding this meeting?

 We don't believe Egan. We also don’t believe Sevenstreets anymore
http://www.sevenstreets.com/liverpool-visions-where-should-we-be-heading-in-the-future/

And why is Plus Dane sponsoring another event.

Should Merseytravel Be Investigated By The Police?

That is a question we were asked the other day.


It now transpires that Herr Director Neil Scales sanctioned the purchase of a load of tat and bric a brac that had some vague relationship to the Beatles for 2 million quid of your money. See todays Weekly Ghost.
This was public cash.
Marc Waddington, now unshackled from the ambitious David Bartlett, who has been promoted, has done some good work lately.
Bartlett was very fortunate to take over Larry Neild’s phone who had been at the Echo for years.
We spoke to Bartlett who is now Andy Kelly’s assistant, on numerous occasions, sent him emails and questions to how Miserytravel’s finances were being run.
What did he do…..well not very much really.
Now Marc Waddington reveals how a further investigation into the running off the Miserytravel Gravy Train is to take place after more revealing allegations.

This is public money that has been used as frippery by the Directors of Miserytravel and it has gone on for decades.

Andy Kelly was a reporter when the Tram fiasco took place where Scales and Co wasted millions on steel tram lines that were never used. http://www.liverpoolcultureblog.co.uk/2009/07/merseytram-off-the-rails-for-good/

Neil Scales was the Moron who cut up U534 in a savage act of barbaric vandalism that renders it virtually worthless. http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2011/05/why-did-merseytravel-spend-42-million.html

Costing us many millions

http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2011/05/neil-scales-and-merseytravel-spend.html

Right in front of the noses of the local press. http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2010/06/u-534-cut-up-into-five-pieces-by-neil.html

In fact the local press almost welcomed it. They flirted with Scales publishing what his PR company told them. They took advertisments from Merseytravel.
We believe, the disgraceful October Communications now Aurora Media were PR for Mersetravel at one stage.
Who Larry Nield went on to work for effectivly becoming PR for Scales & Co.

Isn't it strange the way it all goes around in Circles. October PR for Neptune Developments.....who build the Black Coffins on Mann Island.
They were commisioned by Liverpool Vision and David Wade-Smith who was Director of Liverpool Chamber of Commersce and cost the taxpayer 6.5 million in a tragic team up with Merseytravel.
 Neil Scales then becomes Liverpol Chamber Commerce Director.
Merseytravel move into the black coffins costing the taxpayer a fortune.......No wonder Private Eye call Liverpool Murkeyside.

Now Scales has buggered off to Australia….how convenient is that.

http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/neil-scales-buggers-off-to-australia.html

Where is he to anser question about his decisions.
http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/david-wade-smith-costs-taxpayer.html

Scales was mates with David Wade-Smith, one of Joe Andersons trusted advisors.

And why did Anderson not argue out the Miserytravel question when Councillor Dowd was under investigation?

http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/merseytravel-mark-dowd-and-his-expense.html


His legal team tried to gag us. Maybe Louise Outram head of Legal services at Miserytravel should answer a few questions too?

http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2011/05/merseytravel-try-to-gag-us-we-will-not.html

Miserytravel wasted a fortune on South Parkway Station.
 The London trains cant stop there because after a 25million refurbishment the platform was not long enough http://www.liverpoolcultureblog.co.uk/2009/07/merseytram-off-the-rails-for-good/

The clowns even wanted to buy Ringo’s House http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2011/01/9-madryn-street-ringos-house-why-knock.html


In 2008 when they were paying 2 million for a load of Lennon bric a bra they were also commissioning art…well that’s not what most people would call it.

http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2009/07/liverpool-european-capital-ofbad.html
 Ken Dodd with a kebab at Lime Street station as public sculpture.

You have to be a comedian to live here.

FERRY TERMINAL
So there is an investigation into how 2 million was wasted but the real question is how did Miserytravel spent 11 million quid on a Terminal Ferry Building that won the Carbuncle Cup award as the worst designed building of 2009.

http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2009/08/liverpool-wins-carbuncle-cup.html


http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2009/10/liverpools-pier-head-and-its-new.html


Those who were present at the Planning committee meeting when plans were passed, may recall how Doreen Jones, the Doyenne of World Heritage disaster, passed the plans, saying she had been blackmailed into doing so.
 What did that mean?
 Larry Neild reported the committee meeting for the Echo.

More investigations need to be done on this World Heritage White Elephant that the Lennon tat was placed in.
Why did we need a Beatles Museum in a Ferry Terminal.

 But will the local press continue their reporting and do some investigating, or just let it lie on the bottom shelf until someone else does the work for them.

SHOULD THE POLICE INVESTIGATE?

Ron Van Oers-How Can He Show His Face Again In Liverpool?

In November 2006 A Unesco Monitoring Mission came to Liverpool at our request. The mission of two, were Michelle Bonnette and Ron Van Oers.

I had a meeting with them for 15 minutes after a long conversation in Municipal Buildings with Florence Gersten who was wrongly excluded.
She asked me to hand them documents she had written from her vast knowledge.
Then directly after, a delegation of four from the Merseyside Civic Society led by Peter Brown, who later announced that he was a supporter of the Man Island black coffins went in.
Pat Moran was part of the delegation as was anther member who I would later find out was one of the people representing the MCS who would also be representing a owner of property that would be directly affected by the Mann Island and museum proposals.
If you recall the Liverpool Museums had to pay £750,000 for loss of (our) views to one developer that owned property at the Pier Head.
So the Itinerary stated that the City Council Limousine picked the mission up, and the council afforded them meetings in quick fire successions that were presentations and led them around like poodles.
There was a lot riding on this mission but Ron & Co let us down badly.
They said that the Mann Island proposals would not affect the Overall Universal Value of the World Heritage Site………….How wrong can they be.
We were hoping that Unesco, as a last resort would advise the council against its plans that were funded by the NWDA and sponsored by Liverpool Vision, (Joe Anderson was and is a member) who employed the deplorable October Communications, now Aurora Media to come up with a publicity drive.
Jon Egan used all his skills to slime as many articles into the paper to Larry Neild, the then City Editor who now works for Egan.
Larry Neild won an award from Downtown Liverpool In Business, and guess who does their media now.
October Communications lined up presentations with Icomos UK, the City Council then become a corporate member. Heard nothing from them this time.
Now they have asked if I can attend with Peter Brown, and Ian Wray who was a planner for NWDA….not a chance.
And to think, John Hinchliffe (world heritage waste of space) is organising it.

What a joke.
The UK Government then funded Unesco in 2007 to a tune of 16% of their budget for the year. Were they bought off?
One of the problems was that English Heritage were supporting the proposed schemes…………while Sir Neil Cossons the then Chairman of English Heritage was working for Liverpool Museums. You couldn’t make this up
So Ron you have been sent back to Liverpool on the 14th to 16th November to see what has been done at the Pier Head……….will you be big enough to say you made a mistake? Will you make a statement to say so?
How can the OUV not have been effected by building three black coffins a Terminal Ferry Carbuncle and a carbuncle Museum n the WHS.
Unesco, have a new Chairman let’s hope they are not as thick as the last one.
This time English Heritage have published an independent report into the damning effects Liverpool Waters will have on the World Heritage Site.

Lets hope that Ron Van Oers does not allow the council to blindfold him and lead him around like a shopkeepers dummy………like in 2006.

Mr Brocklebank Turns Into An Estate Agent?

When I used to write most of the Brocklebank column it had an edge.
We exposed Iliad who destroyed 6 Sir Thomas St, and Maghull Developments for destroying Josephine Butler House, helping to show them up for what they were. Property doing damage had a rough ride.
Bernie Turner as a so called historic champion had a rough ride too.

I spoke to the new Mr Brocklebank only a couple of weeks ago who assured me that when he went for a free lunch with a property developer he told them "It doesn't mean that I will write anything up about you". Well said old boy.
The Old Mr Brocklebank also wrote about the destruction of all the trees in Church Street lobbed down overnight in an act of vandalsim by the council.
Even the recent disturbances left the cities trees intact.

When Canada Boulevards Maples, donated by the Canadian Government to make a honourable remembrance for Canada's war hero's, and the fallen, in the second world war, he was there writing about it. 
The outrage.

But something has come over very queer with the "New" Mr Brocklebank he now appears to be supporting property developers such as David Brewitt and Alan Beers company, Urban Edge Ltd, who want to build student boutique accommodation in the Hope Street area.
This sounds a spun up term made up by a PR company, no surprise when Jon Egan and Co at Aurora Media have been Alan Beers PR for years.

WHO’D be a property developer, eh? Mr Brocklebank says

http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/views/liverpool-columnists/mr-brocklebank/2011/08/11/mr-brocklebank-regeneration-and-renewal-in-liverpool-what-a-riot-92534-29216253/
Not only does one run the risk of seeing his properties trashed by the baying hordes of rioters who have taken to the streets of Liverpool this week, but he also runs the risk of falling foul of the mobilis vulgaris more commonly known as the planning committee.
So found David Brewitt, owner of the Hope Street Hotel, who addressed this week’s planning committee ahead of its decision on his plans to refurbish the old orphanage, on Myrtle Street.
The meeting began on a sombre note when Mr Brewitt explained that his other luxury student dwellings atop of Tesco, farther up Myrtle Street, had fallen victim to vandalism.
Important it was, he said, that we show that, as a city, we can’t be cowed and are very much open for business.
A plea that appears to have fallen on deaf ears, if the planning committee’s decision on the orphanage was anything to go by.
In what some might say was a classic “can’t see the wood for the trees” scenario, planning chairman Cllr John Mackintosh ruled that concerns over the fate of the plane trees on Myrtle Street were enough to put the £13m project on ice. Who’d be a developer, indeed?


Now I hate the way this planning committee operates but thought on this occasion common sense was being used and they were wanting to protect the trees.......simple as that.

Last week Marc Waddington who was at the planning committee meeting wrote http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-news/local-news/2011/08/10/row-over-trees-puts-bid-for-luxury-liverpool-student-pads-on-hold-100252-29208619/
Council woodland and tree manager Peter Howsen said if the plan went ahead, the trees would be too close to the new build upper floors and would require excess pruning which would lead to their eventual deaths.

He argued for the development to be set back an extra two metres to protect the trees.

The week before he spun it up into an advertorial of sorts for the developers. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-news/local-news/2011/08/04/13m-to-turn-liverpool-orphanage-into-posh-student-flats-100252-29174661/

The bid to bring the Grade II-listed orphanage back into use has won the support of English Heritage, subject to concerns about the retention of internal features and building materials being allayed.

Mr Brewitt said: “Historically it’s a fantastic building which will be brought back into use with minimum intervention.
“We’ve tried to take some of the ideas from boutique hotels so we aim to offer the equivalent of the Hope Street Hotel for students.
“The accommodation students get these days is quite staggering in terms of quality, but it does appeal more to overseas and postgraduate students.
“It’s about the more discerning end, the more studious students.”

The old Liverpool orphanage was set up to help the poor children of Liverpool how times change.


Lets hope Mr Brocklebank does not become a Daily Ghost PR Plumper.
