Could your ‘wacky’ idea be the future for St Johns Beacon?

Liverpool: St Johns Beacon, also known as the Radio City tower, has been a key part of the skyline for ages. It’s been through a lot lately, especially after Radio City moved out. The tower is now looking for a new tenant, and the landlords are open to all sorts of ideas, even the wild ones.

One idea that’s popped up before is a zipwire stretching across the city. It was proposed a few years back, but it faced a lot of pushback. Some folks thought it was a crazy idea, especially with all the memorials nearby. The former mayor even stepped in to block it, saying he had serious concerns about the location.

Now, the landlords are saying they want to make good use of the iconic building. They’re not keen on the zipwire idea as it stands, mainly because it’s a listed building. But they’re open to other creative suggestions. They want to avoid leaving the place empty and are considering reopening the viewing platform. However, short-term rentals are off the table for now. It’ll be interesting to see what happens next!
