✍️ Sign the Petition: Give L8 Community the Space It Deserves : Rosebery Cohesion Centre For over 30 years, a piece of land in Rosebery Street, Toxteth (L8) has been abandoned. Rubbish, rats, exposed drainage and unsafe conditions sit metres away from family homes — where children play and elders walk. This affects hundreds of local residents. Instead of being an asset, the site has become a source of: • Public health concerns • Environmental hazards • Anti-social behaviour • Anxiety for families This is not about blame. It’s about resilience. Residents, faith groups, and community leaders have come together with one clear belief: Our neighbourhood deserves better. 🌍 A Community for Everyone The Rosebery Community Coalition (RCC) is open to all. This is not for one group — it is for all of Liverpool. Every space and programme will serve the whole community. But we cannot do this alone. ✍️ Please sign the petition today. Let’s demand meaningful partnership and long-term investment for Liverpool 8. Every child deserves opportunity. Every family deserves safety. Every neighbourhood deserves better. Add your name. Stand with the community. change.org/p/give-l8-comm…
