00:00The future of Liverpool's proposed Hollywood of the North film studios is uncertain, with
00:07the city-region mayor admitting there's a funding gap. The scheme would transform the
00:12former Little Woods Pools building on Edge Lane, which has stood empty for more than
00:1730 years. Steve Rotherham described the site as a white elephant and said it must be brought
00:23back into use. Politicians are set to pitch the project to government, hoping for £50
00:28million, but borrowing and mixed funding options are also being considered. Planning permission
00:34is already in place, with two large studio spaces proposed. Despite rising costs and stalled
00:40projects elsewhere, Rotherham says he remains confident.
