Key commercial organisations have declared Government intervention into Liverpool City Council’s operations as an opportunity to improve the public-private sector relationship in the city for the “betterment of its people”.
Max Caller, engaged as an independent consultant by the Government to examine affairs including property management, regeneration and highways procurement by Liverpool City Council, reported his damning findings last week.
The report, billed by Secretary of State Robert Jenrick as dealing with “a politics that for too long has been rooted in a pervasive and rotten culture,” stopped short of recommending that Liverpool be taken fully under central control.
