This week saw a major agreement announced that could mean the world's largest tidal power plant is a step closer to being created in the River Mersey.
When Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram stood for election for what was a new position back in 2017 one of his key pledges was to push forward with a plan for a huge tidal energy project in the River Mersey.
This was never going to be a quick turnaround and would take years of work to even assess whether such a huge project was feasible in this region. Most of that work has been taking place behind the scenes, but the announcement this week was a big public step forward for what Mayor Rotheram and his team hope will be a game-changing development.
