Government commissioners overseeing progress at Liverpool City Council have left the door open to a possible extension of their stay beyond the planned three years.
The team of commissioners arrived in the city in June 2021 shortly after a devastating government inspection lifted the lid on a shocking range of failures at the city council. The initial team of four officials were installed at the Cunard Building for a period of three years to put the city and its council back on course.
Those four became five last year when a finance commissioner was added to the team after fears that the council wasn't making progress at a sufficient pace.
