Work will start immediately to transform the existing mile-long Bute Street into a prestigious dual-carriageway thoroughfare linking the city centre with its regenerated dockland area.
Its aim is to create a "flourishing and vibrant riverside community for media, technology and creatively-minded businesses" in an area which was once a derelict stretch of dockland.
At the heart of Liverpool, the constituency stretches along the diverse areas of active, decayed and redeveloped dockland from the Bootle boundary right up to more affluent Aigburth.
