Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 September 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

Amendment 185H, on assets of cultural value, is an interesting approach. There is already listing, and other activities can be done, but again this is a potential opportunity for communities to engage with their cultural assets. My late mother danced at the Cavern Club and the Jacaranda. That has certainly gone through a few changes over the years, but we would not want it suddenly to disappear. Assets of community value should be recognised for the stories and the heritage they bring to communities in not just the great city of Liverpool, but many others around the country. I beg to move.
