LIVERPOOL Lib-Dem executive Cllr Flo Clucas was officially cleared of accusations by Labour group leader Cllr Joe Anderson that she helped block plans to redevelop the former Irish Centre, in Mount Pleasant.
More important is why the council continues to let rot this Grade II-star listed property, built in 1815 as Wellington Assembly Rooms. As celebrated photographer Edward Chambré Hardman’s nearby studio-home, at 59 Rodney Street, is too small to display his archive, would not the Wellington, with its big top-lit public rooms, be ideal?

After a hearty 'Huzzah', we utter a sigh of relief that Mr. Brocklebank is chiding the council to remember the beautiful Wellington Assembly Rooms, its garland-bearing angles and sedan chair porches, rotting behind construction fencing and dunes of Lucozade bottles on Mount Pleasant Street. In mid-Huzzah, we can't help but wonder, though, what became of the boutique hotel idea...
