Liverpool City Council has explained why it has tarmacked a major pavement area in the city centre.
Yesterday images appeared on social media which showed a large area of pavement in Water Street, close to its junction with The Strand, covered in a layer of freshly laid Tarmac.
The images, first posted by the Liverpool 1207 twitter account, caused some consternation, with fears over damage to the aesthetics of what is an important city centre street in terms of architecture and heritage.
