Heavy shipping pollution "4x higher than prev suggested". City deserves mitigation: Rail freight capacity, and road traffic interventions. Instead, we've no HS2 line and Rimrose Valley destruction in place of a road tunnel. https://t.co/t3oILNU6QZ

Good luck to Sefton borough council, challenging a UK that's trying to get access to Liverpool's port infrastructure on the cheap, at cost to our environment and health. Our infrastructure, city and people are every bit as worthy of investment as anywhere.

22% of the Welsh population lives in the north of Wales but they only get 17% of infrastructure spend says @CarrieAHarper. Plaid would pass a law to guarantee fair funding for all parts of the country #WalesLive

@mmcdstudio @sjeffrey01 @mralancross @CentreforCities @MetroMayorSteve @y_imby @LpoolExpress Bootle and Birkenhead not being classed as integral to city is absurd. Would be laughable if those portraying the Liverpool economy as so much smaller than it is didn't have a serious impact on wider understanding of its offer = impact on attracting appropriate investment.

National news wakes up to policy that has been allowed to lay waste to millions of square feet of Liverpool employment space. Often only to be replaced by tiny dwellings for profit, not Liverpool people. Especially if no real business left to employ them!

@BBCNews Your website has this incorrectly tagged as Manchester region, misinforming your readers. Please correct it right away.

As the UK gears up for Brexit, the country needs a port capable of replacing Rotterdam. Liverpool's World-facing @SuperportComms - the hub of a pan-Irish-sea network - stands to re-position our city at the heart of the UK's trading economy.

@RMC_TptPlanning @CityMetric @Andrew_Adonis Does make things difficult. Difficulty securing Halton Curve a case in point (& hats off to @Merseytravel and @NCRUGtweeter for their persistence). But even 1.7m population urban figure isn't recognised, let alone UK's 4th largest metro: The problem isn't us or our definitions.

[Advance Liverpool @AdvanceLPL]

@RMC_TptPlanning @CityMetric @Andrew_Adonis "Our needs" = infrastructure needs that goes with running an urban area of 1.7 million people, at the heart of a wider metro region of 2.7 million. We deserve every bit of effort that has gone into place building other locations. Should never have been left off HS2, for example

[Advance Liverpool @AdvanceLPL]

@RMC_TptPlanning @CityMetric @Andrew_Adonis "LCR" - 1.7 million people in the urban area. "Wider LCR" - 2.7 million inc surrounding towns/cities. All real, visible. Visitable! They all seem to fall on deaf ears = It's not Liverpool's communications that are at fault, bar perhaps a lack of retort when our needs are demoted.

@res_publica Which sectors Liverpool would get to "specialise" in unfettered? What about its traditional industries - Insurance, Banking, Finance, Pharma, Technology, international travel... have these been nurtured in situ? Or erased from history? "The port" and "hen parties" aren't enough.

[Advance Liverpool @AdvanceLPL]

BBC & ITV not enough?!... How about locations are pitched to @Channel4, and *they* get to choose where would be best. For their creativity, output, for talent attraction & retention, and for their staff member's happiness & quality of life. #Liverpool

We recommend Pan-Northern cooperation to ensure that cities do not compete with each other to specialise in all sectors. Northern cities must identify their distinctive sectors - read more on our new report: https://t.co/gfH1CNp6AE

Across London, Manchester and Birmingham, latter era office blocks are finding new lives as modern, refurbished business hubs at the heart of burgeoning economies. Liverpool's people deserve nothing less.
