Major plan for new Liverpool neighbourhood with 7,000 homes
Liverpool City Council’s cabinet is set to sign off on a huge vision to regenerate areas close to the city’s north docksAn artist’s impression of how the Pumpfield neighbourhood could lookMajor plans to create a vibrant new Liverpool city centre neighbourhood with more than 7,000 homes are set for approval. Liverpool City Council is aiming to regenerate the Pumpfields and Limekilns areas close to the city’s north docks.The aim is to maximise the area’s potential by turning empty plots and vacant buildings near the city centre into a major new neighbourhood over the next 20 years.The local authority said the vision will reimagine the area as a “highly sustainable extension of the city centre”, that supports thousands of new homes, jobs, learning opportunities, green spaces and cultural activity.The plans, the council says, “will breathe life into an area with significant opportunities for growth, and will play a pivotal role in connecting the city centre with the north of the city”.Stretching between the city centre, waterfront and north Liverpool, the site is being billed as a key piece of the city’s future growth — with new walking and cycling routes, public squares and upgraded streets all planned.Old warehouse buildings along Blackstock Street could also be brought back into use as part of the wider regeneration push, with Canal Square to provide a key civic space and Kingsway Park a linear green park connecting the area with the waterfront.Another image of how the Pumpfields area could lookCity leaders say the plan will create a single, connected district and ensure “comprehensive change in a way that is inclusive, resilient and respectful” of the area’s unique character.The masterplan has already been shaped by talks with residents and businesses, and if approved by the council’s cabinet in June, will guide future planning applications.Cllr Nick Small, cabinet member for growth and economy, said: “This is one of the biggest opportunities we have to reshape the north of the city and make sure it plays a full role in Liverpool’s future.“For too long, large parts of Pumpfields and Limekilns have been underused, but this plan sets out how we can transform it into a thriving, well-connected neighbourhood with thousands of new homes, new jobs and high-quality public spaces.“Crucially, this isn’t about one-off developments — it’s about making sure everything is planned properly, with better streets, more green space and stronger links into the city centre, waterfront and surrounding communities.“It’s a long-term vision that provides certainty for investors and will help us deliver the homes the city needs, while creating a place people actually want to live, work and spend time in.”

West Ham fans react as Taty Castellanos drops hint on his future after exit reports
Add as preferred source on Google West Ham United fans have spoken of their desire to keep striker Valentin Castellanos in the Championship. While Castellanos sometimes frustrates for his lack of cutting edge, it’s hard to imagine a scenario in which West Ham United would have taken their bid for Premier League survival down to the last day without the Argentine. Nuno stays! Tell us how YOU are feeling about the big news! Vote below 👇 Taty scored seven goals in 22 games after joining from Lazio for around £26million and impressed supporters with his work rate. After a reasonably positive impact, Castellanos has been linked with a move away from West Ham following their relegation. However, supporters here in east London and beyond are hoping to keep him. West Ham fans want Castellanos to stay after he liked Instagram post confirming Nuno won’t leaveTaty liked an Instagram post where West Ham confirmed that Nuno Espirito Santo will stay on as manager, potentially raising hope that the forward could also be convinced to stay. Readers and subscribers to Hammers News across its Facebook and TalkingPoints platforms spoke of how much they wanted to keep the Argentina international. One fan said: “25 goals in the Championship easy.” What do YOU make of Joe Cole’s claims that West Ham snubbed Mourinho? 😵💫 Another added: “If we are able to keep a couple gems like Taty then we should easily smash the league.”This supporter claimed: “If he stays, once he scores a few goals, his confidence would be unstoppable in the Championship.”“I think that he will be a massive hit in the Championship with bundles of high energy, his style is absolutely ideal,” said another supporter.“A must keep for me, in the short time he’s been with us he’s put others to shame,” added another. “Think he will be a beast in the Championship, love this man!”One of our subscribers said: “I’d imagine in the Championship he will bang goals.”You can join the debate by signing up to TalkingPoints!

Photo by Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesWest Ham will undoubtedly have to sell players this summer after dropping into the Championship. That is sadly the grim reality of the situation, although West Ham remain ambitious to return to the Premier League as quickly as possible. While at least some big names will almost certainly leave, keeping players like Castellanos would be a fine way to ensure their stay in the second tier is only a fleeting one. It looks like being a summer of chaos at West Ham but holding onto players of his stature would certainly be a statement of intent from the club.
