The Mayor of Liverpool has expressed her pride at the role she and her cabinet “have played in bringing the council to a much more stable position.”
In May, Joanne Anderson will leave her position as the elected Mayor of Liverpool following all out elections across the city. Mayor Anderson is likely to be the last holder of that position for some time after members of Liverpool Council chose to do away with the role in favour of a leader and cabinet governance model.
Mayor Anderson was present at the final meeting of the city’s mayoral and performance select committee at Liverpool Town Hall on Tuesday and text of a speech seen by the ECHO which she had intended to give outlined her reflections on her time in the role. It said: “It has been an absolute honour for me to lead our city during one of the most turbulent times in its history, driving though much-needed change and improvements.
