A former leader of Liverpool City Council is looking to return to the city's political scene by standing to be a city councillor in May's elections.
Lord Mike Storey, who led the council for the Liberal Democrats between 1998 and 2005, will stand for the party in the Childwall seat which the party will be confident of retaining.
Lord Storey, who has sat as a member of the House of Lords since 2011, will stand in place of his wife Carole Storey, who currently represents the party in Childwall but is standing down at these elections.
