For Liverpool fans, the pilgrimage to the Anfield stadium is the defining feature of home games. But come here when the football鈥檚 not on and you鈥檒l find the streets are strangely empty. Where one big red business is worth billions, just down the road are rows of boarded up houses and shuttered shops.

In this episode, we hear from people living in Anfield about the false promises of 鈥渞egeneration鈥�. They fought for their homes, but saw their community emptied out and left decades later in half-demolished limbo.

Starting with a beloved pie shop, this community is now breathing new life into their area by bringing empty buildings into community use. Community Land Trusts, forged during the Civil Rights movement in the American South, are quietly spreading across the UK today - can this alternative approach succeed in levelling the playing field?
