The panel established to guide Liverpool out of government intervention and help set its long term future path is expected to meet for the first time later this month.
In August Greg Clark MP, the then Levelling Up Secretary, confirmed alongside further expansion of government oversight of the city council, a new panel would be set up to lead it out of the intervention. The panel is to be chaired by Steve Rotheram, Metro Mayor of Liverpool City Region, and former city councillor.
In a statement to the ECHO, Mayor Joanne Anderson said she will be attending the first panel meeting “later this month.” Last month, Mr Rotheram said the scope of the panel was still being worked out and progress remained slow on convening members.
