Yellow Submarine may have to set sail.

Apprentices at Cammell Laird for the Garden festival built the Yellow Submarine as a tribute to the Fab Four song in 1984. It is at present situated in Chavasse Park but major redevelopment plans for the park mean it may have to be moved. National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside want permission to site it outside the Museum of Life at the Pier Head. Mike Storey leader of the City Council has stated he would like to see the Yellow Submarine moved around prominent sites in the city. A council spokesman said: "National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside has submitted a planning application, but not on the basis that there is any move imminent. They have submitted it so that on some date in the future the planning permission is there should they need it." National Museums and Galleries have confirmed that the planning application to move the submarine has been submitted, but said no plans for a move date had been set. 16/01/2001
