More strong hints that further government intervention coming to Liverpool

Another strong hint has been made that further government intervention could be made at Liverpool City Council.

The troubled council is already operating under the supervision of four government commissioners, who were installed around a year ago following the damning Max Caller inspection report. Now, 12 months into that intervention, it is predicted that further action will be taken.

Earlier this week the ECHO reported on a leaked government memo that confirmed the four commissioners are not happy with the progress being made at the Cunard operation. The memo, a briefing for Secretary of State Michael Gove, warned that the council is going "backwards not forwards" in some areas and said "more action" will be required. The level of that action will be revealed in a commissioners report that is due to be published in the coming weeks.
