IN FULL: Peel chairman John Whittaker's letter on Liverpool Waters
Peel chairman John Whittaker doesn't do interviews very often, so a letter to Liberal Democrat Richard Kemp is the nearest we've got to hearing his views on his £5.5bn Liverpool Waters scheme.
As we reported today he believes the first building in the project could be built and open for use in 2014 - although he admits that is optimistic.
Below is his letter in full:

I feel we must trust Peel in this matter. But I'm concerned at the effect the development will have on the city centre.I hope this point will be taken into account.
Incidentally, these developments could create a great opportunity for the idea of a tram system to be reopened. Virtually every major (and not so major) city now has one.
If Peel were to commit 5 billion of their own money then this would be true but if Peel's job was to take fairly worthless land without planning permission and then convert it into mega valueable land by virtue of a friendly mayor granting planning permission then they would have made a mega fortune without any outlay. Sell of this land and take the fortune and still no outlay by Peel. Let us not confuse someone who can spot a nice little earner for minimal outlay with some one who will make a considerable input to achieve a good profit.
