MTL site (Liverpool Digital)
The former MTL site, in Edge Lane, is one of the most important sites for development for business in the city and it will open up Wavertree Technology Park to a new frontage.
It has been identified by the Northwest Regional Development Agency as a strategic site and will provide an investment opportunity targeted at the knowledge-based, scientific and high technology sectors
The £14m programme of work is being carried out by Liverpool Land Development Company in eight packages starting in August 2005 with completion expected in by Mach 2008.
When complete it created offices and industrial units with more than 21,550 square metres of floorspace and created 1,080 permanent jobs.
The scheme will also bring back into use 6.1 hectares of brownfield land, provided 1.6 kilometres of new highways, upgraded a major highway corridor and created a new 1.32 hectare park.
It involves constructing a new distributor road and junction with Edge Lane and Wavertree Boulevard and carrying out alterations to Wavertree Boulevard at its junction with Wavertree Road. There will also be associated works in the infrastructure involving associated utility, drainage and landscape operations.
The majority of the work will be contained within the site but an information programme for the local community, general public and commuters will take place.
