Liscard’s Labour councillors Graeme Cooper, Janette Williamson, and James Laing, have welcomed a planning application to demolish the derelict Dominick House office block, which has become a dangerous eyesore at the heart of Liscard. The application is being made by the building’s leaseholder, Prospect Estates.
Commenting on the application, the Labour councillors said, “We have long campaigned for something positive to be done with Dominick House, which has been a blight on Liscard for far too long.
“It is good news that there are finally now plans to demolish the building. A new start for the site will help to kick-start Liscard’s long-overdue regeneration.
“While we don’t yet know the long-term plans for the site, as local Labour councillors, we will always promote initiatives that support the community and help to boost regeneration. We have asked for more details, and will keep everyone in the Liscard community posted on further developments.”
Dominick House, on St Albans Road, Liscard, has lain disused for around 10 years, during which time it has fallen into dereliction, with broken windows, and smashed doors. Falling glass is an ongoing safety risk, and the boarded-up building has also become a focus for anti-social behaviour, with vandals frequently gaining access.
