The closure of a number of city centre roads - which was initially illegally approved by Liverpool City Council - has created a hotspot for crime and anti-social behaviour, according to local people.
In July 2021, a number of roads and areas were closed including Highfield Street, Cockspur Street and Pownall Square, which lie close to the Moorfields area of the city centre. The closures were permitted by the council so that construction firm Graham could begin work on a major housing development.
Work is ongoing to create the 22-storey residential development called Pall Mall Press, which is expected to be completed by October 2023.
