    An extract from the bibliography listed above:

    “ (Merseyside) (1944) Merseyside of the future: an analysis of 10,000 ideas, Liverpool Daily Post & Echo Ltd, Liverpool, 78pp, 2/6. Ideas submitted by the general public in response to competition sponsored by the newspaper and Merseyside Civic Society in response to request by the Post-War Re-development Advisory (Special) Committee of Liverpool City Council. Foreword by Viscount Leverhulme (one of the judges). Reviewed in Journal of the Town Planning Institute 5-6/45, p. 141.

    (50 guineas was £52.50: a large amount for a Corporal)

    Yesterday ( 16/11/2017) the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government in a written statement to Parliament (HCWS254) announced that he was writing “today… to start the formal process of intervention” to the local planning authority of Liverpool ( and 14 other planning authorities ) for failure to produce a “ Local Plan” under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
