You may have missed the news, but on the same day the Great Barrier Reef dodged a demotion to Unesco s List of World Heritage in Danger, the Brits had World Heritage status stripped from one of their 32 sites.
Liverpool was just the third site to be removed from the World Heritage List, losing its spot because of the impacts of new developments – including the multi-million-pound Liverpool Waters project and a new stadium for Everton FC – on the six areas of the city s waterfront covered by the listing. Local politicians expressed anger at the delisting, with mayor Joanne Anderson saying she would investigate options for appealing against the incomprehensible decision.
