Liverpool author David Bedford, a member of the Save Madryn Street committee, says the leader of the Liverpool City Council has changed his stance today and is now sounding more positive about saving Ringo's birthplace.
Joe Anderson told Click Liverpool the council would "do the right thing."
Earlier today, it was reported that a redevelopment agency wanted to take charge of fixing up the area.
Reacting to the new development, Bedford, author of "Liddypool," told us exclusively by email, “As a committee, all we have sort to do is work with the local residents, as well as Beatles fans, to do what is right for the area, and to have the chance to discuss our proposals with the council leaders, and now we have the chance to do what is right for Liverpool and, in turn, for fellow Beatles fans across the world."

Right across the street from Ringo's house is the Empress Pub, which is on the cover of Ringo's album, Sentimental Journey. Down the next street is the house he grew up in. This little section of Liverpool should be on every fan's tour of Liverpool, but needs help to be restored, not destroyed.
