The Council has ambitious plans to significantly transform the city, delivering thousands of new homes, jobs, major infrastructure, public realm and greenspaces, as well as accelerating the skills agenda and the path to net zero. Liverpool Strategic Futures Advisory Panel was established in 2022 and reported in March 2023. It was chaired by Mayor Steve Rotheram, with support from government. It made a series of recommendations about how the regeneration of Liverpool could be supercharged, with a particular emphasis on an “arc of opportunity” to the North of the City Centre. The new government has already demonstrated its commitment to this agenda, with the early announcement of £56 million investment in Liverpool Waters. The Panel’s final report recommended the establishment of a regeneration partnership to oversee regeneration opportunities in Liverpool, ensuring a coordinated strategy across the city region which aligns fully with regional and national programmes. They also recommended that Liverpool establish a locally-led urban development corporation, using new legislation, to bring additional powers and to accelerate development in key sites.The regeneration partnership will work in collaboration with the private and public sector, local and central government, to provide strategic direction for regeneration initiatives, foster partnerships and enhance Liverpool’s national and international economic profile. It would lead the application for a new locally-led urban development corporation, lead it initially in shadow form and, subject to approval, establish its Board.
