GREAT news in tonight's ECHO which proves that Liverpool people do want to celebrate their city's 800th birthday.
The article, by the ECHO's Culture Reporter, Catherine Jones, reveals that culture bosses are ordering more street party packs - which include bunting, balloons and badges - after sinking in a sea of requests from wannabe revellers.
So what was it those misery moos and malcontents were saying about no one wanting to mark this major occasion?
Around 300 parties are already planned across the city, and this represents a whopping increase of 50% since the ECHO got on board two weeks ago.
Even better news, the Liverpool Culture Company is now working with the Chamber of Commerce to produce packs for pubs.
With 40 days to go, it seems that party fever is now spreading fast . . .
