The leader of Liverpool Council wants to see the end of a government intervention on time but hasn’t ruled out a continued working relationship post next June.
After being installed following the Caller Report in June 2021, the five Whitehall mandated officials overseeing change at the Cunard Building have 11 months left in post. However, lead commissioner Mike Cunningham has suggested the intervention could be extended if necessary after their next report which is expected in September.
Cllr Liam Robinson, who was elected leader of the city council following May’s all-out ballots, spoke of his experience working alongside the commissioners and reflected on how the authority can make the most of the intervention.
