A new partnership between the Fowler-Carragher Academy, Torus (a North West housing, regeneration, and development group), swim!, and Beth Tweddle Gymnastics was announced by Liverpoolfc.com today as the former Liverpool training complex gains a new life.
Ownership of the complex passed to Torus in 2019, and the group planned to convert Melwood into a “landmark mixed-use housing scheme, delivering affordable, sustainable, multi-generational living and enduring community connections.”
While Liverpool have moved into new facilities, those left behind at Melwood are nonetheless world-class in their own right, and making them a part of the new community asset became the goal.

Joann Brand of the Hokonui Rununga speaks at the Gore District Council’s Draft Gambling Policy and TAB Venues Policy hearing.
The upwards trajectory of spending on gambling in the Gore district means organised crime must be laundering money in the area because it can’t be attributed to anything legal, and a social impact review on the effects of gambling needs to be done by the Gore District Council to find out what is going on, Hokonui Rūnanga staffer Joann Brand says. ”It’s a big rise, and so you do an impact study to see where it’s coming from,’’ Brand said before a hearing into a review of the Gore District Council’s Draft Gambling Policy and TAB Venues Policy on Tuesday night.

The Gore District Council has installed a pocket park at the end of Eccles Street at the intersection with State Highway 1, which has prompted concerns about ambulances travelling to Gore Hospital, which is further down the street.
The Gore District Council has received a petition asking for the removal of some of its Streets Alive initiatives, including more than 460 concrete troughs, from the towns streets. And the results of a survey commissioned by the council about the programme won’t be known until a council meeting on Tuesday. The council has rolled out a three-month trial of its Streets Alive project, which has changed some layouts for traffic around the town, by adding pocket parks, planters, roundabouts and courtesy crossings.

Money laundering claims concerns the Gore District Council as it reviews its draft gambling policy and TAB venues policy. [File photo].
The chairman of the Hokonui Rūnanga says he was not aware of a submission his organisation made which claims money laundering may be happening in the Gore District by organised crime. The claim was made by the Rūnanga in a submission to the Gore District Council’s Draft Gambling Policy and TAB Venues Policy, which will be heard next week. But chairman Terry Nicholas said he was not aware of the submission, written by staff member Joann Brand, which said ‘’there seems to be a link between P users and gambling practices which indicates a money laundering process may also be employed by organised crime locally.’’
