"Rejuvenation" and the theft of Public Spaces

AJ | 28.07.2007 12:35 | Free Spaces | Social Struggles | Liverpool


Concert Square has been illegally appropriated (stollen) by the Baa Bar group and Liverpool City Council does nothing.


I recently inquired as to the legality of the permanent fencing off of Concert Square by the Bar owners and was informed by the City & North Neighbourhood Services, Liverpool City Council that the Square was the property of Baa Bar group however when I further asked how come their fencing encloses public seating and the pavement on one side the square- I received no response- does anyone know where a member of the public can get access to detailed maps showing boundaries because the Baa Bar group are undoubtedly stealling public property- which they then use to ply cheap drink to drunks and make the so called "Street Cafe" atmosphere in truth an outdoor Gin Palace- complete with violent atmosphere, puke, piss and the loud banal monoculture which passes as rejuvenation.

If they claim to own the land then they have a duty to their shareholders to exercise both care and due diligence. A number of Companys House transactions did take place betweeen 2003 and 2006 which were effectively changes to mortgage arrangements for the BAA BAR Group.

In all of these transactions there are details that any potential investor would do well to check. For example, has BAA BAR contracted to own land - rendering it private property - without informing their Insurers of such a significant change.

In addition to the holding company there is the operating company:

BAA BAR LIMITED
Registered No. 02623950
Address: 43-45 FLEET STREET
LIVERPOOL
MERSEYSIDE
L1 4AN
Telephone Number: Click here for telephone numbers
Type: Private Limited with share capital
Incorporation Date: 26/06/1991
Status: Large unquoted company
Last Accounts Filed: 30/11/2005
Last Accounts Analysed: 30/11/2005


Which has a similar list of transactions at Companys house. While The PLC was admitted to the Channel Island Stock Exchange (as Baa Bar Group plc, Admission to Official List, 08:00 23 Nov 2006) the private company can avoid such scrutiny as a public company might need to be subjected to.

Company Name: Baa Bar Group plc

Date Listed: 21-11-2006 Type: Equity
ISIN: GB00B1GGRP29 Domicile: England & Wales

If the Parent is allowing one of its subsidiaries - and it is likely to be a wholey owned subsidiary, to commit to sharp practices there is a complaints process at the Exchange.

At GBP0.03 shares one might wonder about purchasing some - and that would lead to a legitimate need to know more.
