More luxury flats to be built in Aigburth

Liverpool gets more luxury flats!

Residents living in North Studley Street, Aigburth are fighting plans to build dozens of luxury flats which they claim would ruin their neighbourhood, proposals to convert the former Crofton day care centre into a four-storey apartment block which would include 71 flats and an under-ground car park. Liverpool City Council are too busy selling off day care provision for the elderly and people with disabilities cashing in on the ‘Get-rich-quick’ schemes of regeneration and the City of Culture. But local residents are mobilising quickly to counter this madness, hundreds of leaflets raising awareness of the plans have been handed out and residents will lobby the planning chiefs.

Good God, man, you don't mean they're going to build 'luxury flats'?? That really will bring down the tone of the neighbourhood.

Even yuppies have to live somewhere, NIMBY.
