We need to clean house. The city is a mess.

It is, but Jenrick (and this government) are as likely to clean house as a six day old weakened bin bag full of used nappies, spilled pasta and potato peel is likely to.

The problems in Liverpool are after all the problems that are repeatedly seen in councils and planning departments across the land, including central government. Decision after decision is being made, by councils of all stripes, that are if not bent then absolutely mindless.

For example, near me Lambeth Council (and central government) have approved a complex to be built on Vauxhall bus station, one of the busiest interchange stations with tube and rail in South London.

For those who don’t know it, the bus station is in the middle of a giant roundabout that is one of the main ways into central London from the southwest. It’s busy now, and with the new building along Nine Elms and the new tube it would have been even busier in the years to come.

It’s going to be replaced by... nothing. All the buses will stop on the bit of Wandsworth Road that is already mainly blocked during rush hour.

This is it.

It is beyond parody that a man as corrupt as Jenrick is deemed suitable to step in and take over a Council which is under investigation for....corruption.

But sure in Brexitannia 2021 it seems black can be called white with a straight face because anything goes.

I think it goes way and beyond over here and it’s been happening for a long, long time.

The town centre is an absolute hole because the council have been in the pockets of chancers. Half the buildings built over the last ten years will soon be abandoned as the people that built them will be in jail.

Something drastic needs to happen and if that means the tories coming in then so be it.

TBF I’d be surprised if any of them cost us (taxpayers) as much as what we know Jenrick has.

It is a rock and a hard place situation isn't it.

The poisonous influence of the Militant crew has seemingly never gone away.

I know of contractors/investors who laugh about the mayhem in Liverpool, which is sad as 'grey areas' do impact upon investment and development. Maybe with a root and branch change, we could see the levels of progress that other great cities have enjoyed.

If the Tory's do take over there will certainly be a lot of scrutiny from all across the city.
