Problems in switching off gas and electricity supplies in dwellings marked for demolition were causing protracted delays to market renewal work in Liverpool. The problem is partly due to the large number of companies operating in regeneration areas and the resulting amount of necessary administration work. The regeneration of Boot Estate is particularly affected, with the regeneration programme about one year behind schedule. Liverpool Council has now called on the Government to intervene and take action at a national level.
