A run-down area of Liverpool’s docklands could be Britain’s next great creative hot spot. Liverpool City Council is seeking to create a Cultural Enterprise Industry Hub that will neighbour and complement the development of the £5.5bn Liverpool Waters project. The first phase will be in a zone the council is calling, “Ten Streets”, which begins less than one mile from the city centre’s commercial district and runs to the Stanley Dock complex, itself undergoing a multi-million pound renaissance.

Its hoped the completed development will be considered an ideal location to attract artistic, creative and digital businesses.
