People in Liverpool are being pushed further into a generational cost of living crisis that is having a particular and profound impact on the city.
The Mayor of Liverpool has raised her grave concerns about the specific impact rising energy bills, record inflation and other increased costs are having on the city after a decade of austerity, wage stagnation and the 'economic shock' of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Joanne Anderson will outline her deepening fears at a town hall meeting next week, when she will implore government to take immediate and decisive action to try and lessen the impact of the crisis on Liverpool households as they head into what could be a traumatic autumn and winter period.
