✍️ Sign the Petition: Give L8 Community the Space It Deserves : Rosebery Cohesion Centre

For over 30 years, a piece of land in Rosebery Street, Toxteth (L8) has been abandoned.

Rubbish, rats, exposed drainage and unsafe conditions sit metres away from family homes — where children play and elders walk.

This affects hundreds of local residents.

Instead of being an asset, the site has become a source of:
• Public health concerns
• Environmental hazards
• Anti-social behaviour
• Anxiety for families

This is not about blame.
It’s about resilience.

Residents, faith groups, and community leaders have come together with one clear belief:

Our neighbourhood deserves better.

🌍 A Community for Everyone
The Rosebery Community Coalition (RCC) is open to all.
This is not for one group — it is for all of Liverpool.
Every space and programme will serve the whole community.

But we cannot do this alone.

✍️ Please sign the petition today.
Let’s demand meaningful partnership and long-term investment for Liverpool 8.

Every child deserves opportunity.
Every family deserves safety.
Every neighbourhood deserves better.

Add your name. Stand with the community.
