A disabled grandmother won a high court victory yesterday stopping the demolition of her home and 500 others in Liverpool in a project approved by John Prescott.
The judge had already concluded that Prescott and English Partnerships had acted illegally when they approved an urban regeneration scheme that would have entailed the demolition of the home of Elizabeth Pascoe, 60.
Yesterday, Mr Justice Forbes issued an order quashing the entire scheme, which Liverpool council had wanted in place as a “gateway” for the regeneration of the Edge Lane West area in Livepool.
