Liverpool Council

Liverpool Council governs the city of Liverpool. It is currently led by Cllr Liam Robinson. It has 85 councillors representing 64 wards. In 2021 Government commissioners were appointed by Robert Jenrick to oversee many council functions for at least three years. This follows a damning report by Max Caller which found examples of failure and mismanagement throughout the authority which will have repercussions for several years to come.
