Developments in Beechwood Gardens area
I blogged some time ago about the plans from Plus Dane Housing for some building on the patch of land roughly behind the row of houses at 11 onwards Beechwood Gardens. It's a rectangular bit of grass at the moment. The plan was for shared equity housing.
The Council approved the plans although it wasn't at all clear when anything would start.
Plus Dane have been in touch to say that the land transfer is about to go through. This means the site will be fenced off, although no building will start until next year.
Plus Dane have written to some immediate neighbours but I am posting this here so the wider Beechwood community is aware.
I'll also update in my e mail bulletins which carry news about L19 and L18. If you don't get these but want to start getting them, please drop me an e mail at paulakeaveney@yahoo.co.uk with the e mail address you want me to use.

Greenhill Road planning update
The development at the West Farm Hotel on Greenhill Road looks set to be approved.
Earlier this year an application was turned down and this is a new one with some changes to it, partly taking into account what residents said about the first one.
The details are on the Council's planning pages which you can link to here. The key document is called Case Officer. This has all the various conditions in it. You can also see plans and other information on this page.
My colleague Richard Oglethorpe made some comments about access and these are reflected in what the case officer says.

There are worries that the theft of a dog from outside a shop in Hunts Cross could be linked to dog fighting.
The police have released a picture and are asking for help.
Here's a link to the picture and Twitter feed from the police.
UPDATE: The dog has been found and reunited with its owner. An arrest has been made.

Selling off the childcare
Later this month (November) the City Council's Cabinet will take a decision in the next steps in their plan to sell off some of the childcare services based at Children's Centres in the City.
In this case they are talking about the services in Garston and Tuebrook.
For legal reasons the Council has to publish a bit of advance information ahead of the Cabinet meeting (22 November). You can link to the info here.
The Garston service is based in Speke Garston ward and it is interesting, although frankly not surprising given lack of action on other items, that the info here makes it clear that the councillors for Speke Garston and the local MP have not responded when asked to comment.
