Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) won’t be drawn on if it will provide specific financial support to an under-threat tourism information centre.
Fears arose during Liverpool Council’s budget setting process that the city’s tourism centre could close after running for almost four years at a deficit. The centre’s budget was cut by the local authority back in 2019.
The council confirmed in February the centre will continue to operate at Liverpool ONE while a review of the operating model is completed. Cllr Steve Radford, leader of the city’s Liberal group and chair of the city region’s overview and scrutiny committee had pressed Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram for financial support to be given from the combined authority to support the work of the centre as it promotes areas across the six local authorities.
