Work to upgrade one of Liverpool’s most thriving cultural neighbourhoods is to recommence next week.
For almost three years, work has been paused on the Ropewalks area of the city, to the south of the city centre, after funding to complete a second stage improvement wasn’t available to Liverpool Council. Now millions of pounds made available through the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority are to be used to strengthen and uplift the existing infrastructure.
The Ropewalks area is characterised by its long straight streets packed with vibrant food, drink and live music venues with locations along Bold Street and Seel Street, alongside landmarks such as the Bombed Out Church and the Bluecoat. A contract was awarded for a phased revamp of the district by Liverpool Council in 2020.
