The Triangle Website members volunteer their time and knowledge of key issues that have blighted this area of Anfield for many years! 24 September 2013
Website editor - darron eden
I won’t simply stand by whilst any individual (or group) peddles lies about my conduct.
It is also worth noting that when I respond to constituents queries the name on the email you receive it from is irrelevant, as; Gary Booth/Dave Hanratty and my 3 other members of staff in my Liverpool office act as my agents, in concert with me and on my instruction (as is the case with all MPs), so I make no apology that your correspondence has been responded to in that manner. In the responses to you (from my office) I have simply pointed out the facts as they are. It may be an inconvenient truth for you, but I do not have ANY jurisdiction over Liverpool City Council or the Mayor of Liverpool, but do always try to work closely with them in the best interests and for the benefit of my constituents. I also know that the questions you have raised have been addressed by officers of the Council, but that you are obviously unhappy with what they have said – and therefore believe by asking the same questions in a slightly different way you will educe different answers, so I am sorry to state that that will not be the outcome. Despite the fact that I work closely with Liverpool City Council (LCC), I have no influence over their democratic processes and accountability. I have monthly Advice Surgeries in Anfield and have taken up cases on behalf of numerous (many hundreds) of constituents in the area on a whole plethora of issues and of course will continue to work with individual residents in the area who believe they require my assistance. Whilst the current situation you outline is naturally the number one priority for some people living in the area, for others, fighting to get appropriate treatment for a serious illness; places in schools for their children, or benefits restored - or to rid the area of people selling drugs and causing anti-social behaviour - are also major issues. All of which I have assisted my constituents with along with a whole plethora of other cases we deal with on a weekly basis. From the information I have to hand, (according to a recent survey) the overwhelming majority of local people are in favour of the latest regeneration plans. I fully understand the concerns of those people who have experienced setback after setback, but I can hardly be accused of creating the current problems in the area as the issues you highlight have been ongoing for some considerable time (as evidenced in the documents you yourself attached to your email) and yet I was only elected to Parliament 3 years ago! I note in your latest missive that you have some contention regarding the survey itself, so, as I stated earlier, I will look into what you have to say on this issue. I am genuinely sympathetic to the plight of those residents who have had to endure a decade or more of blight, but I am sorry Mr Eden you can’t have it both ways. You can’t point to findings of research that you have carried out; “with ‘many’ residents and ‘some businesses” as evidence of the weight of your claims and then dismiss the research carried out by Liverpool City Council with a much larger representative sample, whose response rate has indicated that the overwhelming majority are in favour of the councils regeneration plans, (even given your questions about its rigor). I wonder if you could answer the question; how many residents do you believe are against the plans as proposed by LCC? You then highlight quotes from Mayor Anderson, but unfortunately you will need to address these issue with him directly as I am not responsible for anything attributed to the Mayor of Liverpool.
I hadn’t seen the quote that you included from Andy Hunter from the Guardian, but I’d like to thank you for its inclusion as I think it actually provides evidence of the fact that I was highlighting the concerns of local residents from the start of my term of office as the MP for the area when I spoke about the tensions caused by the uncertainties of the stalled regeneration. I stick by the quote you have included from me, but note you then ask [sic] ‘how I have addressed concerns in the last 2 years and what the massive opportunity was mentioned in the quote’. I would have thought the answer to both questions was clear. I was talking about the need for concrete plans for the regeneration of the area including housing, after so many false dawns. I believe these plans are now in place with wholesale development (and redevelopment) including the building of a training hotel and jobs/apprenticeships created for local people in the area.
In October 2010 Andy Hunter also wrote: Henry and Werner continued their exhaustive rounds yesterday when they met five local MPs to discuss the problematic stadium issue. "We asked were there any definite plans," said Steve Rotheram, the MP for Walton. "They said there aren't any at the moment but that there will be a new stadium, whether that means there will be a new stadium or a redevelopment on the present footprint." So I was enquiring about categorical plans and already warning that there was the potential for the Club to look to redevelop the Anfield stadium - and I impressed on the then new owners that local residents had been messed about for far too long and needed certainty – and that mistakes had previously been made in regard to the manner in which local residents had been treated! I have met several residents who have quite rightly pointed out the historic issues (as is their democratic right), but who haven’t had a common vision for what they want for the future of the area. Many people want various different things and that in itself causes an issue. However, I am sure that you would agree that the problems in the immediate area around the stadium are longstanding and complex and it would be interesting to hear from you details of what you believe should happen as an alternative to the current plans for the area. It is not of my making where we are now, but I will continue to work with local residents if they seek my advice. Cheers Steve | ||||||||
