(UK) - The creation of a formal Gay village in Liverpool has moved a step closer after the council agreed to effectively pedestrianise a street in the city’s so-called Pink Triangle. Last night, the Gay community welcomed the move to close Eberle Street after 6pm to create a pedestrian-friendly area by use of bollards to restrict traffic flow. The street has a number of bars and clubs including the famous Garlands club, but because it is so narrow vehicles using it presented a danger to revellers. Liberal councillor Steve Radford, co-chairman of the Gay Business Association, said it was now hoped that similar measures could be introduced in Stanley Street and Cumberland Street, which also have a number of gay venues.
