A new workshop is to be built on the site of a Liverpool prison to aid the rehabilitation of inmates.
An application has been lodged with Liverpool Council ’s planning committee on behalf of the Ministry of Justice for a new building to be constructed on the site of HMP Liverpool - known locally as Walton Prison. The development will be used for “vocational and educational work streams to help promote prisoner rehabilitation.”
The proposal would be for a 30m x 54m building to be put on the Hornby Road site to comprise four small workshop rooms with separate plant rooms and storage. Each internal workshop would have main access with external security gates and service doors will be located to the rear for vehicle access and goods delivery.
