I'm writing a play set within the Kensington district, it is for 20 Stories High Theatre Company and will tour schools and youth clubs in and around Liverpool next year, as well as some other venues, such as Contact in Manchester. I am not from the area myself and I'm doing a lot of research to try and get things right. The family home the play is set around is in one of the homes on Prescot Road that you mention here. Most of the houses as you know are tinned but there are few with residents still in them. Can you tell me how it is that they have managed to keep hold of their homes? That way I can have the same reason for my family and and in so doing keeping it factual. <BR/>The regeneration is a backdrop to the piece but the main story is a more emotional and personal rights of passage piece about a young girl, living in the area.<BR/><BR/>Any help will be greatly apreciated <BR/><BR/>Laurence WilsonLaurence Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993615481901584154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21780743.post-43170755896198316632007-03-30T11:01:00.000+00:002007-03-30T11:01:00.000+00:00Kevin, I think you are absolutely right about the ...Kevin, I think you are absolutely right about the staff who try their very best. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately you are also right about the awful places we put people into, some of which are in Kensington and Fairfield.<BR/><BR/>I know that money is tight and so on, there is always an excuse for the party in power to make, but I dont see any political will to sort this out and that is what is the most painful.<BR/><BR/>Nobody seems bothered.Louise Baldockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430662342062143143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21780743.post-9415344485239411432007-03-26T20:35:00.000+00:002007-03-26T20:35:00.000+00:00i have some dealing with The LCC homeless familues...i have some dealing with The LCC homeless familues team and from experince I belive they absoultley deliberatly try to put people off making a homless application by advising there may be up to "an 18 month sty in a hostel" a situation most familes would (righty) find intolerable.<BR/><BR/>I have also visted all teh hostels (aigburth drive, langtree) and foud the staff to be helpful and caring but they are desperate places.<BR/><BR/>This is without even mentioning the LCC policy of putting vulnerabel familes in teh most rundown basic of "hotels" in Lpool when (frequently) there is no hostel space.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21780743.post-10732007309342343372007-03-26T12:01:00.000+00:002007-03-26T12:01:00.000+00:00Regeneration Apartheid seems apt.
