The developers behind Liverpool’s £70m Littlewoods film studio plans insist the project doesn’t hang in the balance despite the loss of a key partner.
Capital & Centric, the developers leading the scheme, have also hit out at claims that the regeneration project is “high risk”, instead doubling down on their belief it remains a “huge opportunity” that will benefit the entire city region. This comes as Liverpool John Moores University confirmed this week it would no longer be one of the anchor tenants within the proposed studios.
Speaking to the ECHO, Adam Higgins, co-founder of Capital & Centric, admitted that the project, which has been touted since 2014, had been “challenging” and “complicated”, but sought to provide reassurance that it is “closer now than it has ever been to being delivered.”
