We are approaching the seven (SEVEN!!!) year anniversary of the destruction of Bixteth Street Gardens. Just take that in. Bulldozers came and flattened our park to make way for New Grade A office space, a hotel and all that ‘public realm’ we so “desperately needed”…

@KimJohnsonMP These laws didn't stop Joe Anderson from destroyingthe green space that was Bixteth Street Gardens for a development which didn't even have planning permission. Can it be restored to its original state and the public footpath be reinstated? It should be protected.
In the UK, you are not allowed to cut, prune, or remove trees and bushes during the main bird nesting season, which runs from 1 March to 31 August. Plus, you must not cause or permit another person to cut or trim such a hedgerow.

Didn't stop @joeando58 from authorising the destruction of Bixteth St. Gardens entire ecosystem (one of only two green spaces in Liverpool city centre) for nothing @KimJohnsonMP @LiamThorpECHO @bixtethgardens campaign to reinstate it & the public footpath
Sorry… I can’t seem to find the information regarding positive upcoming change?
@LiamThorpECHO What’s the latest? What have we missed?

"The campaigners" are just regular folk who don't like seeing green space bulldozed for land grabs. 'Offsetting' established trees, their air-cleaning and CO2-capturing properties with saplings misses the point. Commercial districts need green spaces too, not just turf and shrubs

The 'before and after' pictures should tell the story themselves? Zero respect for urban green space. Yes, it may have looked dated, but it was home to biodiversity and those trees would have done a pretty good job of cleaning city air. The Bixteth campaigners knew its value.

@Biennial I think you’ve forgotten… this beautiful green space doesn’t exist anymore! @lpoolcouncil destoyed it leaving behind an empty, stagnant wasteland. Feel free to update your photo for the visitors and tourists!

Uh oh! Looks like @BruntwoodWorks have made the same error… don’t worry, mistakes happen. I’m sure this old photo of our beautiful gardens isn’t intentionally being used to mislead people?

Considering how amazing Michael thought the underwhelming Pall Mall development was; the abuse he dished out to the likes of @bixtethgardens and how much of a failure it inevitably became, I’m not sure we should be taking any of his vision too seriously.

A haven of tranquilly in the city centre, bulldozed, boarded up and left abandoned by the City Council to this day.

@bixtethgardens @BixtethBunnies its like Bixteth Street Gardens all over again the destruction of an entire ecosystem for pure greed @CllrNickSmall @KimJohnsonMP The public foot path still hasn't been reopened by the way
If ever there was a picture encapsulating what the Tories have done to the UK it is this before & after photo of Plymouth city centre, Disgusting. #ToriesOut252
