A proposed motion of no confidence in the Mayor of Liverpool and her cabinet has been blocked ahead of a crunch meeting tonight.
The city council has had another difficult week with the dramatic resignation of chief executive Tony Reeves. Mr Reeves quit with immediate effect on Monday after four years in charge.
His resignation comes at a critical moment for the council, with government commissioners soon to publish their second report since arriving to oversee key departments at the Cunard just over a year ago. That report is widely expected to recommend further interventions.
