LGA Peer Review calls for “a more productive relationship with the media” and for exemplary behaviour by councillors on Liverpool City Council
This evening councillors on Liverpool City Council’s Audit and Governance Select Committee at a public meeting will discuss a recent Local Government Association Peer Review of Liverpool City Council.
The report contains this about Liverpool City Council’s relationship with the media and the behaviour of its councillors,
The police investigation that emanated from Lancashire County Council has raised issues about the former Chief Executive in Liverpool. This requires the council to ensure that the way it now operates in terms of openness and transparency, including the issue of behaviour across elected members and in the Council Chamber, is nothing short of exemplary so that Liverpool can continue to make progress in service delivery and outcomes for its residents.”
It is unknown whether the boycotted media outlet referred to is the Sun (although Cllr Richard Kemp points out in a comment that he thinks it is the Liverpool Echo).
Liverpool City Council’s Audit and Governance Select Committee meets tonight in the Banquet Suite, 6th Floor, Cunard Building, Water Street, Liverpool, L3 1AH starting at 5.00 pm.
