With just a few months left in the job, Mayor of Liverpool Joanne Anderson has carried out what are likely to be the final changes to her cabinet line-up over recent weeks.
Mayor Anderson was elected in May 2021 following the dramatic fall out from the Max Caller government inspector report and the resignation of former mayor Joe Anderson. But after just two years in the role she will leave the council this coming May after the local authority voted to remove the mayoral position and revert to a leader and cabinet model.
But before she departs the political stage, Mayor Anderson has concluded some changes to her top team over the past few weeks. Last week the ECHO revealed that Cllr Frazer Lake, who was already the cabinet member for adult and children's social care has now also been made deputy mayor with statutory duties including filling in for the mayor if she is unavailable.
