The panel set up to guide Liverpool out of government intervention and onto a long-term future path will meet for the first time next week.
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, a former city councillor and Lord Mayor.
Mr Rotheram confirmed to a meeting of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority this afternoon how the panel will convene for the first time at Mann Island on Monday. It had been expected that the group would meet in February after a statement from Mayor of Liverpool Joanne Anderson said she had anticipated meeting fellow members at that time.
