In the shadow of Liverpool's famous Anfield football stadium, residents are hoping for change.
A new multimillion-pound redevelopment scheme is due to begin next year after the city's council agreed to major highways upgrades.
For local people, however, the reality is yet to live up to promises made when a £300m regeneration programme was first announced in 2014.
Significant redevelopment has already taken place, but some say there has been little progress to improve certain areas of wasteland or derelict buildings.
City leaders have promised "more than warm words" and instead vowed to get "spades in the ground".
