Liverpool City Council plans Chinatown revamp consultations

Liverpool City Council has initiated a public consultation on proposed improvements to the city’s Chinatown, aimed at revitalizing the area and increasing visitor numbers. The plans, developed in collaboration with local community groups and the University of Liverpool Architecture School, include the installation of two stone lions donated by the Chinese Consulate General in Manchester, along with enhancements to pedestrian access, a new playground, and a commemorative memorial garden. This initiative seeks to create a more attractive and functional neighborhood, encouraging business investment and tourism. The council hopes to complete the project by early 2026, with community feedback being solicited through various channels, including a dedicated website and an upcoming information event. The revitalization effort is part of broader plans for the area, which include new residential and commercial developments. Local leaders express optimism that these changes will foster a stronger sense of community and heritage in Chinatown.
