Public consultation launched on future of Liverpool's bombed-out church

It's one of Liverpool's famous landmarks and a reminder of a tougher time for the city and the country.

St Luke's Church in Liverpool was heavily damaged in a fire following an aerial bombardment during the Blitz in 1941

It has been left a shell inside without a roof since then and stands as a memorial to the War and a venue for exhibitions and artisitic events.

Now it's future is in the hands of the people of Liverpool.

The City Council is asking people to fill in an online survey, asking their views on how the church should contribute to the life of the city, before the end of September.

Repair work is due to begin on the Church to replace heavy stonework at a cost of £150,000.
