Liverpool Council has been warned there is “no room for complacency” despite an improved report from government commissioners.
The five officers have this evening delivered their third report into their three-year stay at the Cunard Building and said they have “cause for cautious optimism” about the council’s direction of travel. The 25-page report, submitted to Secretary of State Michael Gove, said while there “remains much to be done to meet the challenges of the next 18 months” the council is “demonstrating that positive change is entirely possible.”
Mayor Joanne Anderson and interim chief executive Theresa Grant were singled out in the latest report for their role in transforming the council’s fortunes. Reacting to the report, Ms Grant said: “I have seen a significant shift in the pace, energy and commitment to delivering improvements during my time at Liverpool Council, and it is good news that this is reflected in the latest report from the Commissioners.”
