June 10, 2021, is a dark date in the history of the city of Liverpool.
After a damning report following an inspection by Max Caller CBE in December 2020 and March 2021, Robert Jenrick MP, then Secretary of State for Communities, Housing and Local Government, felt fit to impose a team of four officials to oversee improvements at Liverpool Council.
Mr Caller’s inspection identified a series of failings at the Cunard Building and told Mr Jenrick the authority needed “a reset” and as a result, the then cabinet minister confirmed he would call upon the quartet to monitor change within the local authority for three years.
