The next stage of scrapping the Mayor of Liverpool position is to go under the spotlight at a committee that last met for just three minutes.
Last month, members of Liverpool Council’s constitutional and governance committee gathered at Liverpool Town Hall for a total of 180 seconds. Staging that meeting was branded a waste of money by senior opposition leaders.
However, councillors are to meet again next week as they discuss how the city will do away with the Mayoralty in favour of a leader and cabinet model. After May’s elections, the role - currently held by Joanne Anderson - which was reinstated back in 2010 will be scrapped following a vote on the position last year.
