Rachel Reeves said the new Labour government would work to complete a major housing project in Liverpool city centre as she made her first speech as Chancellor.
In order to achieve this, the Chancellor said the new government would establish a taskforce to tackle stalled housing schemes across the country. This would begin in Liverpool, where the government would work with property giants Peel Waters on the Liverpool Waters scheme.READ MORE: The Liverpool Daily Post newsletter delves into the biggest stories on Merseyside
Central Docks is one of the five areas which makes up the Liverpool Waters regeneration project, which aims to transform the city's northern docks over the next 30 years. It is the largest neighbourhood within Liverpool Waters and the city's largest brownfield site. Responding to Ms Reeves' speech, Chris Capes, director of development for Liverpool Waters said: “It is great to hear that the new Chancellor of the Exchequer has Central Docks on her radar and is looking to accelerate the delivery of a highly sustainable housing community, delivering thousands of homes as well as creating one of Liverpool’s largest new green spaces.
