One hundred and fifteen passengers and six crew-members were evacuated from the Morocco-bound FR4021 fli ght, as an emergency was declared and police, fire crews and paramedics rushed to the airport.

PROPERTY “DEVELOPER” FRENSON could have two historic city centre buildings taken off its hands if it refuses to stop them rotting away.Council building chiefs say they will put a CPO on the Watchmaker’s building, in Seel Street, and the Whitehouse pub, in Berry Street, covered by a Banksy rat, if they continue to decay. But first they plan to issue Frenson Ltd with a repairs notice, which would order them to take care of the Grade II-listed buildings. The Watchmaker’s building, planners say, it is the finest example of this type of building in the city.
LIVERPOOL JOHN LENNON AIRPORT HAS CLOSED due to the weather, and over 90 local schools have also closed.

Picked up a discarded Echo on the train last night (honest). It was reported that The Whitehouse Pub has a 'Banksy Cat' on it. Good accurate local news coverage. Keep it up Echo. Before you start, no I don't Leffe!
I would suggest people now keep a close eye on the Watchmaker's building and The Whitehouse. Once something like this is mentioned, they have a mysterious habit of the roof going missing, going on fire or somebody sneaking along and hacking the front off with sledgehammers to start the preservation work prior to bulldozing it.
