EARTHSHIP afternoon on Sunday 6th April 2008
On Sunday 6/4/2008 at the Old Police Station, Lark Lane, Aigburth, Liverpool 17 there will be an afternoon all about 'Save The Festival Gardens' campaigners' plan for an EARTHSHIP eco/environmental centre at the Garden Festival site in Liverpool.Meeting starts around 2pm and runs until 6pm. All are welcome.
Local architect David Backhouse has designed a plan of an EARTHSHIP for the old dome site near Riverside Drive.
If you google: EARTHSHIP you will see what it is.
It is a fully self sustaining building made of recycled materials, built by volunteers and very cheap to run. It would be an ideal building for:
2009 Liverpool's Year Of The Environment
People in Liverpool could visit if it's built and learn about solar power, wind energy, climate change, reducing emissions, lowering carbon footprint etc.
Hope to see you there!

Save the Festival Gardens Public inquiry
The Public Enquiry resumed again on January 7th 2008 in Blackburne House, Hope Street, Liverpool 8. This was the final week in the inquiry to save the Garden Festival site down by Otterspool promenade on the River Mersey. Our campaign would like to keep all the trees and build an environmental centre (google 'Earthship' for details).
The Daily Post's front page covered our concerns for the Garden Festival Site and Professor Bradshaw from Liverpool University, a well respected environmentalist who has been awarded a rare medal for his work (other medal awarded to David Attenborough), stated in the newspaper article that the site should be left a wilderness. The feature continued inside the paper as well.
It really is an ideal opportunity in "Liverpool's Year Of The Environment 2009" to build an eco-centre for the people of Liverpool and visitors to our city in the years to come.
We'll hear in mid July central government's decision.

SAVE THE FESTIVAL GARDENS PUBLIC INQUIRY
The public inquiry has been running for 3 weeks and will now recommence in January 2008. There has not been enough time to cover everything during the inquiry at the Adelphi hotel, Liverpool.
The Garden Festival Campaign was out in force daily and put across an expert case for keeping our 'Green Wedge' for the people of Liverpool rather than allowing over 1300 apartments to be built by property developers Langtree McLean.
The Sefton room where the inquiry took place looked great with the Campaigners' displays which included a giant tree banner which said "SAVE THE FESTIVAL GARDENS' hanging high in one of the alcoves. Well done to those local people who made it.
There was also a giant colourful map (thanks to John Davies) of the Festival Site covered with post-it notes stuck on at the successful Futures Day held on October 27th at Lark Lane. The post-it notes were peoples hopes for the site.
There seems to be a desire for an ECO environmental centre like an EARTHSHIP and various nature style things like bike trails, nature trails and of course lots of trees.
There were plenty of photos, books, leaflets and literature relating to the Garden Festival, placards
(including SAVE THE PROM), a huge Earthship display board and giant photos of before and after the tree massacre (felled without permission by developers).
Big thanks to everyone who helped in any way whatsoever. We will continue to Save our Garden Festival Site.

The property developers have been told to amend their "incorrect boundaries" regarding the Otterspool Prom 'land grab'. They have been pulled up for taking EVEN MORE of our public land. Well done to Garden Festival Campaigners for finding this out.

Local residents Woodland and Wildlife ideas
I conducted a survey asking local people what they would like to see on the Garden Festival Site and most wanted it to stay as it was..If any developments are to be put there they need to be things like an 'Earthship'. This is an Environmental Centre one of which has just opened in Brighton. check out www.lowcarbon.co.uk/earthships.html or http://www.visitbrighton.com/news/799asp for details
