JOHN PRESCOTT has hailed a "renaissance" in Liverpool's fortunes with growth soaring, unemployment plunging and people moving back to the city centre.
The Deputy Prime Minister claimed a "quiet revolution" had taken place in recent years, with new forms of wealth creation replacing the factories and shipyards of the industrial revolution.
As a result, the skyline was now "dominated by cranes and new buildings", with £800m to be pumped into new city centre stores by 2008, a reference to Grosvenor's Paradise Street redevelopment.
