Liverpool waterfront canal link

I wandered down to the waterfront last week to have a look at the new Canal Link.
I have to say they've made a superb job of it.
It looks great - high-quality stone and wood work. No corners cut, by the looks of it.
I look forward to warm summer days when narrow boats sail into the docks, past the Liver Building and the new cruise liner facility. It will add a spledid new dimension to a city born of the water.
I fail though, to see the need for, or the appeal of, the fast food outlets for the area, which are being considered by the local authority.
Not everyone can afford to wander up into town and eat at a restaurant or cafe. I appreciate that.
But believe me, this is a fantastic spot for a picnic.
