Liverpool - HS2

[Ed the Wool]

Thought Liverpool should be all over the HS2 proposals, and saw this the other week, so although it's very late in the day, it look slike they are lobbying.

Then this appears in the press today - again Liverpool not mentioned in the initial idea, which to me seems mad given it's position in the region and the amount of money that will flow in from the Peel holdings development.

Is it co-incidence, or are the Tories just carrying on the 'managed decline' that Thatcher favoured?

 

Edit - see the Echo running it today http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/liverpool-could-still-feature-new-7310388
