Consultation on the Inclusive Economic Growth Strategy for Liverpool

Start date: Wednesday 12th February 2025
End date: Wednesday 9th April 2025

What are we consulting on?

Liverpool City Council is developing an Inclusive Economic Strategy to help shape the city’s future up to 2040.

The strategy aims are that economic growth benefits everyone, creating opportunities for residents, businesses, and communities, setting a clear vision for Liverpool 2040: 'To create a strong and inclusive economy that leaves no one behind; strengthening our foundations to build a fairer, more prosperous, and sustainable city that creates opportunities for a good life for all our residents'.

The strategy was developed in partnership with key organisations, employers, colleges and universities from across the city. Now, we are seeking your feedback on the strategy and its key themes to ensure it reflects the needs and aspirations of all. Your input will help refine our plans and guide our actions to build a fair, inclusive, and sustainable economy that leaves no one behind.

How to comment

We are seeking views from residents, businesses, community organisations, social enterprises, charities and the voluntary sector.

The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.

We will also be hosting a number of drop-in sessions at community facilities and libraries where residents and groups can attend to find out more and complete a paper version of the survey. A schedule of dates for these sessions will be published here, once confirmed.

What happens to my views?

All the information received from the survey will be treated in confidence and is protected under the General Data Protection Regulation (2018).

All individual responses will be treated as fully confidential and non-identifiable. Information will be held securely by Liverpool City Council and our contracted consultants and will be used solely for the purposes of the work as stated and will be destroyed 12 months after it closes.

What happens next?

Once the consultation is closed, the data will be reviewed and the summarised findings will be used to amend the strategy document, reflecting the feedback provided by respondents.

It is anticipated that the final strategy document will be considered for authorisation at Liverpool City Council's June Cabinet meeting. The summary findings of the consultation will be published, along with the final strategy document, as part of the report pack for the Cabinet meeting.
