A three-month consultation has begun which will ask residents of Liverpool how they want their city to be governed.
In April, a letter will be sent to every household in the city, with a secure link to an online portal, where people will be asked to answer the question: 'How would you like Liverpool City Council to be run?' Those answering will then be provided with three options.
The three options people can choose from include: by a Mayor who is directly elected by voters every four years (the current system); by a leader who is an elected councillor, chosen by a vote of the other elected councillors; or by a system made up of one of more committees of elected councillors.
