RAF Woodvale is only just up the road and still active though, maybe they could be persuaded to allow GA (if they don't already, there's certainly a flying school there). Merseyside Police chopper was there too until someone broke in and set fire to it.....
For GA Woodvale is a dead duck; there is certainly no flying school but a private hangar that due to RAF rules only allows a maximum of 12 aircraft to be based there and doesn't allow training or any commercial activity, so its near on impossible to get a hangar space as any that do arise are offered to other syndicate members within the hangar first.
