The next six months are “pivotal” for Liverpool Council according to a government minister.
A sense of “cautious optimism” has been felt by commissioners as they delivered their third report into their intervention at the city council. In a letter to the commissioners from Lee Rowley MP, local government minister, it was said despite the more positive outlook, the council faces “significant change” in the months ahead.
Mr Rowley wrote: “Thank you for your report of 13 February and for the continued work that you have been undertaking at Liverpool Council. I welcome the cautious optimism on the Council’s progress referenced in your report.
