  • Liverpool City Centre Strategic Investment Framework Strategic Priorities and Implementation Annexe
    Liverpool City Centre Strategic Investment Framework Strategic Priorities and Implementation Annexe The projects identified within the Liverpool City Centre Strategic Investment Framework (SIF) relate to either Major Transformational Projects, Strategic Initiatives or Infrastructure. The delivery and implementation of these is of upmost importance to ensure job creation and economic growth is achieved. The following table has been established in collaboration with key stakeholders to ensure that a number of objectives are achieved. The areas for consideration within the table include: • Ownership- Responsibility for lead delivery is allocated to ensure projects are driven forward by the appropriate authority. They will enlist the support of other key stakeholders when appropriate; • Timeframes-The timeframe for delivery is in many instances dependent on the delivery of other linked projects and the project’s ability to deliver jobs. Three timeframes have been identified: 1-3 years for near term projects; 4-8 years for medium term projects; and 9-15 years for long term projects. • Priority- Projects have been prioritised to ensure that jobs are delivered throughout the 15 year duration of the SIF, with an initial boost in the near term to stimulate the economy and ensure that the reduced public sector employment opportunities are replaced by private sector opportunities. High priority projects will therefore be planned, implemented and delivered in the earlier stages of the SIF where funding allows; • Potential funding source- Various options for funding have been identified and other opportunities are expected to become available over the lifetime of the SIF ; and • Outcomes- Each project has been identified and designed to achieve an outcome which will benefit the city’s development, ultimately leading to job creation and economic growth.

(b) The quality of privatised services and the outcomes for the public, particularly with respect to disadvantaged members of the public.

(e) The effect on public participation, social cohesion, and public perception of the role of government; and (f) Any other related matters. This evidence follows the five main headings preceded by a brief analysis of the scope and global dimension of privatisation. It concludes with proposals for an alternative strategy, summary of main findings and recommendations. The evidence in this submission is based on 48 years-experience advising, researching and working with local, regional and national authorities, community organisations and local and national trade unions on the provision of public services and infrastructure projects in the UK, Ireland and many other countries. It has included published national and global research identifying the direct and indirect impact of privatisation and marketisation for national and international organisations. Developing alternative strategies and policies is another key aspect of this work. The European Services Strategy Unit is committed to social justice, by the provision of good quality public services and jobs by democratically accountable public bodies.

Opinions vary about this, but numerous examples of successful online media campaigns abound, such as Barack Obama‟s use of social media during the US Presidential campaign. Today, other governments are quick to utilise similar environments, and 10 Downing Street has accounts with both YouTube and Flickr, the popular websites used for video and photo sharing respectively. Additionally, marketing and communications departments in business, industry, the arts and the media are rapidly re-organising their strategies around the rise of digital convergence and in light of evidence that demonstrates the decline (or fragmentation) of mass media audiences. These circumstances are pertinent to the hosting of European Capital of Culture by Liverpool in 2008. In short, if we want to understand how audiences were engaged during 2008, we need to complement a range of surveys and reporting with analyses of online activity, which have the potential to reflect both broader media perspectives and the views of people on the street.

    Liverpool - Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site Supplementary Planning Document Public Consultation Summary Introduction The overarching aim of this SPD is to “provide a framework for protecting and enhancing the outstanding universal value of Liverpool –Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site, whilst encouraging investment and development which secures a healthy economy and supports regeneration. Liverpool has one of the longest and most recognisable waterfronts of any city in the United Kingdom and it has “the largest and most complete system of historic docks anywhere in the world.” Its remarkable history as an international seaport and its outstanding historic environment make it more than just another provincial English city. Indeed, the cultural heritage of Liverpool’s World Heritage Site is of outstanding universal value to the international community.

This SPD aims to provide guidance which will harmonise differing priorities for regeneration and conservation. It is a response to the changing demands of the port and the city, as Liverpool finds a new role in the 21st century, building upon its unique spirit of place. Enhancing Liverpool’s spirit of place is central to maintaining its distinctiveness, encouraging investment and development The Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) has been prepared to guide development, conservation and investment in the Liverpool - Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site (WHS) and its Buffer Zone with the aim of protecting the WHS’s Outstanding Universal Value whilst ensuring that it continues to play a leading role in the sustained regeneration of the City and the wider sub-region.
