Vicki Shaw informed the meeting of the requirements of the Localism Act and the Members’ Code of Conduct, in respect of declaring interests and that the Leader of the Council had submitted a written request for the Council to grant a general dispensation for this meeting only for all Members to be present, speak and vote were they would otherwise have a disclosable pecuniary interest in respect of the first motion, Public Sector Pay Freeze. Written advice had already been provided to Members by the Monitoring Officer, with which she herself concurred, in that with the number of Members Page 1 who would be affected, the test for granting a dispensation would be met on the ground that the representation of different political groups would otherwise be affected so as to alter the likely outcome of any vote. Also, quite possibly there would be too few Member left in the meeting, that the transaction of business would be prohibited as the meeting might become inquorate.

    WIRRAL COUNCIL CABINET – 9th April 2009 REPORT OF THE DEPUTY CHIEF EXECUTIVE/DIRECTOR OF CORPORATE SERVICES LIVERPOOL MARITIME MERCANTILE CITY WORLD HERITAGE SITE SUPPLEMENTARY PLANNING DOCUMENT – LIVERPOOL CITY COUNCIL CONSULTATION – WIRRAL COUNCIL RESPONSE _________________________________________________________________________ 1.

The Liverpool Waterfront has a buffer zone extending to the centre of the River Mersey, with rigorous controls on development to be provided in that zone by policies in the emerging Liverpool Local Development Framework. The City Council’s draft SPD sets out a more detailed planning policy framework for the WHS, which has an overall aim of encouraging economic regeneration, whilst ensuring the protection of the outstanding universal value of the WHS. 1.2 Consultation responses are required by 14 th April and Cabinet is asked to agree that the comments of the Director of Corporate Services within this report form the response to Liverpool City Council on the Liverpool World Heritage Site Supplementary Planning Document. 2.

All should have affordable access to its facilities, presented in a way that is both universal, and designed to encourage their use. • That requires not just that the four elements of LLPC work together, but that the model is radically changed into one which includes community engagement and outreach, with reframing delivery of services around a multi-level hub model, with LLPC taking a leadership as well as a delivery role • The alternative is to maintain the LLPC portfolio in-house (but with enhancements).

  • Appendix 1 Wirral Council Plan 2025
    WIRRAL COUNCIL PLAN 2025 Page 1 of 20 FOREWORD We are going to make Wirral a place we can all be proud of. We care about this borough; we are ambitious for its future and we know that when we work together there is nothing we can’t achieve. Wirral’s public services – what we call the Wirral Partnership – have a simple, shared duty: we are responsible for improving the quality of life every resident gets to enjoy. We do this by delivering better outcomes for local people; by keeping the streets clean and improving the environment, making sure communities have good quality affordable housing, are safe and roads are kept in good condition. We protect the vulnerable, help people recover and stay healthy, and we create the conditions to help the economy grow so residents get more opportunities to secure good, well-paid jobs. Wirral Council touches almost every aspect of every residents’ life. That is a huge responsibility. We’re expected to do our job, do it well, and help people live better, happier and safer lives. We’re committed to reducing inequalities across the Borough. We will deliver on those expectations. Our residents deserve nothing less. This document is the Wirral Council Plan for 2025. In it we set out our stall and commit to what we will deliver over the next five years. These are the things you have told us matter to you. Within this document you will see exactly what we will focus on for Wirral residents in the coming years, how we will do it and what we will achieve.

  • Liverpool City Region Combined Authority
    FINAL DRAFT (NOVEMBER 2017) Liverpool City Region Combined Authority Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2018-2028 1 FINAL DRAFT (NOVEMBER 2017) Foreword by the Liverpool City Region Mayor Public rights of way are both a significant part of our heritage and a major recreational resource. They enable people to get away from roads used mainly by motor vehicles and enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of the countryside within a large area of the city region, to which they would not otherwise have access. In many areas, public rights of way help to boost tourism and contribute to rural economies. Public rights of way can also provide a convenient means of travelling, particularly for short journeys, in both rural and urban areas. They are important in the daily lives of many people who use them for fresh air and exercise on bicycle, foot or horse, to walk their dog, to improve their fitness, or to visit local shops and other facilities. I am therefore proud to present the first Liverpool City Region Public Rights of Way Improvement Plan which sets out a vision of how the Rights of Way Network can make a positive contribution to supporting the economic, social and cultural resurgence and ambition of the City Region by improving transport links and opening up a choice of travel to Liverpool City Region visitors and residents. It is therefore crucial to make sure that public rights of way continue and contribute to an environment that is accessible, efficient, safe and reliable and will provide a step change towards further sustainable growth.
