Liverpool Council has "turned a corner" and will be further bolstered with the impending appointment of full-time senior members of staff according to the city’s mayor.
Earlier this week, government commissioners installed at the troubled city council said they are now "optimistic" about the progress being made at the local authority but insist there is a lot of work still to do.
A team of five Whitehall officials are currently overseeing the work of the council after last year's damning government inspection, which lifted the lid on a huge range of issues at the Cunard Building including poor decisions, wasted money and a toxic culture in some departments.
