8. Inclusive Growth by Mayor Joe Anderson, OBE 27:46

Council notes:

· Since 2010 Liverpool City Council, has faced severe and swingeing cuts in funding from central Government under the label of austerity, representing a loss of 64% of monies that used to be provided by Whitehall.

· The funding challenges continue, with the council currently in year 2 of a 3 year budget which includes a further reduction of £90m.

· National Government has stated that Revenue Support Grant, the mechanism by which local government is funded will cease by 2020, meaning that council services will rely on local taxation, Council Tax and Business Rates, for their funding. Social Care, on which Liverpool spends

£240 million a year, continues to receive funding support from Central Government but on an ad-hoc basis with no clear long-term plan beyond 2020.

· The removal of funding by Central Government, initiated by the Lib Dems/Conservative Coalition Government, represent a fundamental ideological attack on the concept of how government institutions provide support to our citizens.

Council recognises that this situation is more than just a temporary reduction of our finances, but is instead a fundamental change to the way local government is financed and requires a new way of delivering our services, enhanced working with our partners and stakeholders, and a conversation with our citizens over priorities and how the Council can help the population of Liverpool achieve the City we want to live, work, learn and play in.

Council notes the publication of the Inclusive Growth Plan in March 2018, detailing a vision of A Strong and Growing City Built on Fairness.

Council welcomes:

· Progress with the Invest To Earn strategy, making commercial investments to generate revenue streams which the council is able to spend on frontline investments

· The Transformation Plan, including the appointment of a new Chief Executive to lead an invigorated Management Team with a focus on permeating the principles behind the Inclusive Growth Plan through every service within the council.

· Significant progress on refreshing the City’s key infrastructure and assets; investing £250m on road repairs and renewals; making 8,000 new homes and the creation of Foundations as a new housing company to create the best housing provision to provide a fresh start for families; £6m in alleyways and entries to facilitate cleaner and safer collection of household waste from terraced streets.
