Peel Holdings, ownners of Mersey Docks, are profiting from major public investment without any real return for the people of Liverpool.
The new canal at Peer Head means that barge owners can now move into the Marina in the south Docks, Moor and pay rent to Peel.
The charges are up to £34.59 per month per mtc

This means that Peel now has a real concrete financial return on its Marina due to 31 Million in Public money- how much is being repaid to the public purse?
In addition 9 Million of EU money was spent of building the new landing stage- Peel charges for use of this- how come it has the right to charge for use of something it doesn't own?
How much ground rent if Peel getting for the new Museum of Liverpool at Mann Island- why couldn't this have been built on City Land instead of Peel's/Lord Grosvenor's?
Do we need a new Museum when we already have one, underused, and so much investment is needed in Social Housing?
