Liverpool mayor shelves controversial zip wire plans

A 400-metre zip wire that would have ended on the roof of Liverpool's Central Library within its UNESCO World Heritage Site will no longer be built following a legal challenge made by the Victorian Society.
The planned zip wire will not be built in the city centre after Liverpool's mayor, Joe Anderson, overruled the planning committee, which had approved the attraction.
Anderson said in a statement that he has the final decision on how council-owned buildings, such as the library, should be used
