Canvas Prints from Memory Lane
Angry residents fighting plans to build on their only recreational land might as well not
Angry residents fighting plans to build on their only recreational land might as well not bother - the work has started. Liverpool City Council has cast aside its own regulations and begun a housing office development BEFORE the planning application is even heard. Mrs Olive Wilson of Tuebrook is one of several residents invited to put their objections next month to councillors deciding on the application. She has a 370-name petition against the development on land behind Larkhill Library, where bulldozers have already started working. 23rd May 1986

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense battle between angry residents and Liverpool City Council in the 1980s. The image showcases a powerful scene of defiance as locals fight tooth and nail to protect their only recreational land from being transformed into a housing office development. However, their efforts seem futile as bulldozers have already begun tearing through the cherished green space behind Larkhill Library. Mrs Olive Wilson, a resident of Tuebrook, stands at the forefront of this resistance, armed with a 370-name petition against the proposed development. Alongside several other concerned citizens, she is set to present her objections next month to councillors who will ultimately decide on the fate of their beloved land. The photograph not only highlights the determination and unity among these passionate individuals but also exposes Liverpool City Council's disregard for its own regulations by commencing construction before even hearing the planning application. This blatant act further fuels anger within the community. Eddie Barford's lens perfectly encapsulates this pivotal moment in history when ordinary people stood up against bureaucratic power. It serves as a reminder that sometimes fighting for what you believe in may feel like an uphill battle, but it is essential nonetheless.
