"Just been reading that it was peel holdings who got rid of them. I thought the planning application had been refused. I'm sure it was peel holdings who brought down lairds cranes when Wirral borough council had said wait to see if they could get any ship building work in. Theres a bit of a re occurring thing happening with peel holdings, cranes and get rid for no reason..."

It wasn't planning that was refused recently, the eco-town next to Peel's Wirral Waters didn't get added to the governments shortlist for special eco-town grants. Stuff is happening with Wirral Waters, the Hydraulic Tower should hopefully get permisison soon (tomorrow I think) and lots of work is going on now to clear sites around the docks which will be put to use on short-term leases to bring some cash in whilst planning is sought (you can see this at the old Bidston Dock, the site between Four bridges and the grain warehouse and on the corner by Duke Street).
