00:00Liverpool Council says extra funding is needed to complete early works at Great George Street
00:07in Chinatown. The authority bought the long derelict site for Ā£10 million after years
00:13of legal disputes. Public realm improvements are already underway, but rising costs mean
00:18more developer funding is being sought through planning agreements.
00:23Councillors say the work supports access to the historic area near the Cathedral and Baltic
00:28Triangle. Officials stress no new development plans are decided yet. The funding request
00:34will be considered by a council subcommittee this week. Ministers and regional leaders have
00:39previously backed council efforts to bring forward options there.
