Council secures deal to take control of Liverpool 8 properties

Liverpool City Council has successfully come to an agreement with West Tree Estates that guarantees the return of properties on Ducie Street and Jermyn Street back to the Council. This deal presents a fresh opportunity to develop high-quality homes and make lasting improvements for the local community. Additionally, this agreement opens up the potential for development on land at Rosebery Street and secures the future of number 143 Granby Street.

The resolution reached with West Tree Estates comes after an extensive period of negotiation and hard work by all involved parties. This conclusion eliminates the uncertainty surrounding the sites, allowing the Council to promptly begin planning practical, community-oriented interventions. Both Liverpool City Council and West Tree Estates have settled all outstanding disputes concerning properties in the L8 area and have agreed upon terms that relinquish the properties to the Council.

The immediate actions to be taken by the Council include securing the site with hoardings, removing a self-seeded and diseased tree, and clearing fly-tipping. Subsequently, detailed inspections and engagement with residents, community groups, and partners will take place to determine the best approach to deliver affordable, high-quality homes alongside improvements to the public realm as soon as possible. In a joint statement, the Council and West Tree Estates expressed their satisfaction with the agreement and their commitment to supporting the local community moving forward.

Liverpool City Council will begin phased redevelopment options with a focus on transparency, sustainability, and meeting the needs of the local population. Progress will be swift to ensure the early achievement of positive outcomes. The Council looks ahead to collaborating closely with residents, community groups, and local partners to establish family homes and create cleaner and safer neighborhoods
