APPARENTLY, when the current Private Eye edition featuring Liverpool’s dire redevelopment controversies was shown to Cllr David Irving, Liverpool City planning committee chairman, he replied: “Many thanks for your concern, to put it in the words of Catherine Tate, ‘Am I bovvered?’.”
Is this the same Cllr Irving who was a committee member during the controversial demolition of 6 Sir Thomas Street and the even more controversial Pier Head – Mann Island redevelopment which took Liverpool to the brink of being stripped of World Heritage Site status?
Nothing to bother about there, then.
Ps: IS IT true that when a developer aboard Liverpool council’s luxury floating gin palace at MIPIM, the Nice property convention, was told about these shenanigans, he replied: “Am I bevvied”?
