Residents say they are “suffering” as the wait to develop an historic landmark in south Liverpool goes on.
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. However, no major progress has been made at the site with the building falling into a worsening state of disrepair over the years. The developer claims Liverpool City Council is responsible for the hold up.
In June, developers Green Drive Ltd, who’ve brought forward the plans, told the ECHO that they were still committed to the development despite the last of visible progress so far. But at a meeting earlier this week, a local residents association hit out at the developers and raised significant concern over the future of the historic site.
