ITDC INDIA EPRESS/ITDC NEWS R Liverpool city, on Wednesday, was stripped off of its UNESCO heritage status. The Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City was moved to the ‘in danger' list in 2012. The committee cited the “Irreversible loss of attributes conveying the outstanding universal value of the property,” as the reason cited by the World Heritage Committee for the removal of the site from the world heritage list.  “Any deletion from the World Heritage List is a loss to the international community and to the internationally shared values and commitments under the World Heritage Convention,” UNESCO said, a BBC report reads.

The World Heritage Committee, in 2012, raised concerns over a massive redevelopment of the historic docklands, Liverpool Waters, north of the city centre. The newly planned Everton stadium is also being considered a serious deterioration of the historical site.
