Consultations

If you're a resident, someone who works in the city, or are affiliated to a local organisation, the council is keen for you to voice your opinion.

We want to consult with as many people as possible on a variety of subjects either online or during face-to-face focus groups.

Without your input we can't make the changes or improvements that our city needs. Take a look at the range of active consultations — see how you can get involved and have your say on key Liverpool issues.
