Liverpool Council is meant to be making its final decision on the Meadowlands planned sell off later this month This follows the legal process with an advert and people sending objections in.
This should be happening at the Cabinet meeting next Friday (27th). Papers for meetings are meant to be published a clear five working days in advance but pretty typically this item hasn't appeared yet on the Cabinet agenda (it's not uncommon for this council to dump things out with just a day to go)
However when it does appear it should be at this link.

Grants on offer for local groups
A couple of deadlines are coming up for local groups or organisations who want to apply for grants for projects.
The Cressington Community First fund, which gives grants for activities in Cressington or benefiting people from Cressington has a deadline of 20 September. Cressington ward includes quite a bit of L19 and a smaller bit of L18. There's a website which has application forms and guidance which you can find at http://www.cressingtoncommunityfirst.org.uk/
The website also has some articles on projects given money in the past, which might help you see if your idea is likely to get funded.
(Ignore the information on the website about the May deadline. This will be updated but it doesn't affect the fact you can apply by 20 September and use the form from the site)
There's also a fund run by Liverpool Mutual Homes which gives money for projects in areas with LMH tenants. The deadline for this one is 13 September. You can find the form at https://www.liverpoolmutualhomes.org/publications/forms/ (its the one called CIF). This then goes back to LMH electronically or it can be dropped into their reception.

Get involved in community radio - South Liverpool
Next month a temporary community radio station will be broadcasting from and to South Liverpool.
Based at ESLA in Garston, the project is designed to give local people a chance to take part in broadcasting as well as to provide some interesting local content.
There's free training for anyone wanting to get involved in making some local programmes.
If you're interested, and live in South Liverpool, please contact sfaragher@hotmail.com
The station is due to start on 14 October and broadcast for 12 days but obviously there's lots of training and prep that has to happen first.
