The continual vandalism of an historic Liverpool landmark awaiting redevelopment has caused locals to become an “unpaid security group.”
In 2017, planning permission was granted for a development that sought to convert the Greenbank Drive Synagogue into 22 apartments with another 36 apartments on its grounds. To date no major development work has taken place at the site with the building falling into a worsening state of disrepair and has increasingly become a hotspot for vandalism and antisocial behaviour.
The developers, Green Drive Ltd, who’ve brought forward the plans, told the ECHO last year that a renegotiation of the lease was holding up the progress. In the most recent update, a spokesperson for Green Drive Ltd claims that discussions are now “moving forward quickly”.
