LIVERPOOL, England, July 10 (UPI) -- The birthplace of Beatle Ringo Starr has won a temporary stay of execution.

The house on Madryn Street in the Dingle area of Liverpool was one of 460 homes earmarked for demolition as part of $94 million regeneration plan.

The Liverpool City Council has voted to move forward with the plan but agreed to consult further about which houses to destroy, according to the Sun.

Starr, who turned 65 on Thursday, criticized the proposed demolition.

"Why are they knocking them down," he said. "They should do them up."
