00:00Two traders at Liverpool's Peerhead could lose their pitches under council proposals.
00:06Harry Karnajau and Patsy Murphy have traded beside the ferry terminal since 2009.
00:13Councillors are being asked not to renew their permits from April 2027.
00:19The council says tourism has transformed the waterfront and the trading offer needs reviewing.
00:24But the traders say losing their pitches would threaten their livelihoods and their staff.
00:30They argue their businesses serve visitors rather than obstructing them.
00:35The council says it will discuss alternative locations with both traders if the proposals are approved.
00:41The committee is due to consider the plans.
