Hartley Quay, Liverpool, England. An old double decker has a new lease of life as a street food diner.
What an incredible evening of contrasts Erica and I had last night. Firstly a solemn High Mass in Liverpool's Catholic Cathedral to give thanks for the life of Pope Francis then off to something he would have been happy to be with us a - a spirited 'Over the Rainbow' pantomime performed with many of the children having additional needs. Both will be the subject of a blog soon! That's my #Liverpool
Plans for the £100m #Liverpool #Baltic station have been approved, paving the way for improved connectivity in one of the city’s most vibrant areas. Set on Merseyrail’s Northern Line in the Baltic Triangle, the new station will feature step-free access, modern facilities, and strong links to active travel networks. Highways work begins in autumn 2025, with station construction starting in early 2026 and opening expected by late 2027. Backed by public support and funded through the City Region Sustainable #Transport Settlement, the project supports Mayor Steve Rotheram’s vision for a fully integrated, London-style transport system. It complements wider improvements including a new train fleet, station upgrades, and future stations at Daresbury, Woodchurch, and Carr Mill. The station aims to cut congestion, support net-zero targets, and boost access to jobs, education, and opportunity across the Liverpool City Region.

BRIDGE ROAD, LIVERPOOL 18. I have been informed by the Police that they are going to do checks because drivers are continually ignoring the one way signs. The system allows traffic only from Rose to Lane to Briardale Road. There have been minor collisions here recently. #Liverpool
Blogpost: A Long Weekend in #Chester. Yes it was over a month ago, I never claimed to be any good at this blogging lark

You know those wild spaces online, the ones where random people can anonymously post things, no one can moderate anything and it all gets blended together and you get a real sense of just how crass and funny humanity is?
Well that's what this reminds me of: https://hoodmaps.com/boston-neighborhood-map and https://hoodmaps.com/liverpool-neighborhood-map for flavour.
Have a zoom around.
At 15.06 today Liverpool will remember the 97 people who went to Hillsborough for a football match, never came home and were subsequently vilified by many outside our city. If you are near the Liverpool Town Hall please come and join us. #Liverpool
The first event for Erica and I today was to welcome the Merseyside Polonia who followed their local tradition and presented us with this huge egg. Unfortunately, it was not made of chocolate but they did leave 4 scrummy cakes behind! @MerseyPolonia #Liverpool
I joined an LDWA walk around #Liverpool yesterday. As well as visiting the Festival Gardens, Sefton Park and Princes Park we also went to the Welsh Streets.
Those streets have a rich history having been built by and for the #Welsh migrants in the 19th century and refurbished in the 21st.
Something we noticed is the bricked up window above the front doors. We couldn't work out why all of the houses had this.
I've posted Google Street View photos of Kinmel Street from 2008 and 2022 to show that this wasn't a result of the refurbishment.
Any ideas?

Whilst on my way to a Citizenship Ceremony at Liverpool's fantastic St Georges Hall I met with these Spanish speaking tourists from Spain & S America. It was great to see them spending money in our economy. #Liverpool
Today we went bluebell spotting at Speke Hall. It's a little early still, they will probably be at their peak next weekend or maybe even the one after, but it's starting to look a lot like spring time.
Anyone fancy helping out to sow the wildflower meadow in Everton Park? Scouseflowerhouse and Friends of Everton Park have got a sowing party tomorrow.
(Ignore the date on the "flyer", I think they're re-using one of last year's )
12pm, The View overlooking Everton Park.
It was a pleasure on Thursday to present 8 former councillors with their Scrolls recording them becoming Honorary Aldermen and women. If we include the 4 who could not be present we recognised almost 300 years of service to the City. There were 6 former Lord Mayors present. #Liverpool
On Monday I had the Mayor of Solihull in the Town Hall who was visiting some students on a music course in the City. We were able to discuss our views on the role of our council in anew world order caused by Trump. Although in different Parties our views were very similar #Liverpool
It is always nice to bring young people to the Town Hall and especially so with these students from
@LJMU. They are comms students helping to bring your musicians to our city. One already wants to stay here after her course ends. #liverpool
