However, there is either never an answer or they tell me to find an empty house and look at the LandRegistry site that I have to pay for a set of documents - for which I am never guaranteed an answer from the owners. I didn't realise that most of the empty houses were owned by the Council. They should produce a web list of all available empty houses for sale and potential renovation costs and make it available online on the council web site. That way, perhaps the city would eventually get moving, the money could be put into rejuvenating this poor city's people and crime rates could possibly be reduced. I've also made a video of the hopeless situation www.livevideo.com/bestherapies3 'house hunting in liverpool'<BR/>Thanks<BR/>Kaye Bewley<BR/>email: bt3eft@yahoo.comKayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12556280362638390775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21780743.post-46387293753176426432007-08-27T23:16:00.000+00:002007-08-27T23:16:00.000+00:00Give the city council a chance - look how differen...Give the city council a chance - look how different things were two years ago!<BR/><BR/>http://www.hilaryburrage.com/2005/10/liverpools_newsham_park_needs.phpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21780743.post-38812516528698806662007-08-27T23:15:00.000+00:002007-08-27T23:15:00.000+00:00Give the city council a chance - look how differen...Give the city council a chance - look how different things were two years ago!<BR/><BR/>http://www.hilaryburrage.com/2005/10/liverpools_newsham_park_needs.phpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21780743.post-67889571106956000252007-08-23T07:51:00.000+00:002007-08-23T07:51:00.000+00:00Just a brief message from a resident of Homerton R...Just a brief message from a resident of Homerton Road (off Elm Vale) - quite close to the derelict buildings, and one more than aware of the danger they represent, not least to young families living in the area.<BR/><BR/>Many thanks for pursuing this, Louise! The hopes and promises unfulfilled, the dragging of feet on the part of the administration, the political shenanigans accompanying the whole process have led to a lot of local frustration and downright cynicism. <BR/><BR/>So many would benefit if these buildings are restored - preferably turned into family homes - and (North) Kensington and Fairfield given a fairer share of the riches apparently available. <BR/><BR/>HaraldHEBraunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16684919711909362901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21780743.post-56042994419857427602007-08-22T22:17:00.000+00:002007-08-22T22:17:00.000+00:00All the more scandalous is that local builders and...All the more scandalous is that local builders and community groups have offered to buy these houses at market value to restore them - but the city council has stonewalled any investment, in favour of demolition by default.<BR/><BR/>All the hard work of people like Louise, Steve and the Friends of Newsham Park to find a solution has been treated with contempt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
