• The main story is about negotiations between the Post & Echo and Liverpool council over its move to a new building. The Post & Echo is moving to a prime site with easy access to the proposed Inner Motorway but is seeking "disturbance" money for moving out of its decrepit old building (pages 1 and 4).

• Trade unionists hold a massive demonstration against unemployment and the Industrial Relations Act (pages 6–7). Demonstrators also occupy Concourse House, a notorious empty office block, to highlight the housing shortage. The 15-storey tower by the entrance to Lime Street Station had been built in the 1960s but remained unlet. Echo readers later voted it the city's worst eyesore and it was demolished in 2009. The Free Press photo showing a clenched fist as demonstrators march past St George's Hall was taken from inside the building.

• The disused Albert Dock and its warehouses, listed as a place of architectural and historical interest, appear to be under threat. A sentence in a planning report suggesting the warehouses should be preserved has been deleted in the published version (page 9).
