Liverpool City Council handed back decision-making powers

“We have sufficient confidence in the council that these powers can be handed back and that further support can be offered by way of an independent board,” he said.

Certain functions will be returned to local politicians on 9 June and but government intervention will continue to be in place until March 2025.

In a statement, external, the Minister for Local Government Simon Hoare said although there had been “significant improvement” in many areas, the council “had started from a very low base and there was slow progress in the first half of the intervention”.

He said while new leadership had sped up improvements “significantly” there had not been sufficient time to show improvements “are embedded throughout the council”.

He said government intervention would continue in the form of a statutory assurance and improvement board.

The board will:

  • require the council to undertake specific actions in relation to property, to continue finance improvements, to build capacity and capability for regeneration and to further embed culture and performance management throughout the council.
