Liverpool Council has to deal with its own issues before it can improve things for people in the city, according to opposition councillors.
Former Lord Mayor Cllr Anna Rothery, said the under-fire local authority needs to focus on how it got into the situation it finds itself in after a survey identified that just 28% of city residents surveyed felt Liverpool Council provides value for money, while less than half (45%) think the council acts on their concerns.
Cllr Rothery, leader of the Liverpool Community Independents group, told a meeting of the Mayoral and Performance select committee the city was “underperforming” and had issues that required a “deep dive” but questioned whether the existing systems were capable of delivering a proper assessment.
