Ashwell Motors in Baltic area may need to move due to Merseyrail Liverpool Baltic station construction.
The city wants to build a new Merseyrail station, called Liverpool Baltic. The station’s construction might impact his garage and even cut off road access.
Paul’s dad started the garage back in 1988. He first heard about the potential move in 2022. Since then, he has lost employees due to the worry.
Paul reached out to the city for aid, but feels their requests have been ignored. He wants help to keep his business open.
The station work could start next year, pending city approval of the plans. The station would connect people to jobs.
Paul feels stressed about the future. His business is vital to the area, and he wants to stay where he is. Moving would be a last resort.
The council says they will assess the plan, checking it against local and national policies. The city is currently reviewing feedback.
The city also says it considered local feedback, claiming it includes feedback from Paul’s business. The council will now assess the project.
