A report for SAVE by Jonathan Brown
£15.00 (£13.00 Friends Price)Publication date: July 2012 - pre-order your copy now!
On a clear winter morning in January 2012, I stood on Liverpool’s inner city Edge Lane, and surveyed a scene of epic destruction. This spot offers a telling vantage point of Pathfinder’s monstrous impact on English cities.
A vast expanse of open land, half a mile wide, stretches to the near horizon, crossed by heavy traffic, which grinds through a mess of dump trucks, direction signs and lamp posts. Over 1,000 people have been dispersed to the four winds from Edge Hill, their hundreds of homes and businesses compulsorily bought up and pulled down following two bitter legal battles.
This is SAVE’s fourth published assault on the £2.2bn Pathfinder demolition programme. Focussing on Liverpool, where mass clearance has ripped the heart from historic neighbourhoods, this report documents the latest episode in a heartbreaking tale of misery, waste and destruction.
