INSANE: The fight to save unique street from developers and decay - The Real Truth

A "unique" street of yellow and redbrick townhouses where you can "feel safe" at night is set to be transformed with "a wave of colour".

Trams used to run through the middle of the road from Upper Parliament Street to the gates of Princes Park, with Princes Road on one side and Princes Avenue on the other. Georgian townhouses line the Toxteth street with possibly more houses of worship than anywhere else in the city - a Greek Orthodox church, Anglican church and synagogue sit at the top, with a mosque just metres away.

Pat Harvey has "absolutely loved" the 35 years she's lived on this "splendid" street where "you can sit out there even of an evening and it's all lit up and you can feel safe", saying: "It's just one of those places everyone wants to be. It's just a wonderful place to live. I wouldn't live anywhere else."
