Neighbourhood priorities

  1. Increase trust and confidence in Liverpool City Council and other partner Services.
  2. Work with the community and local services to increase a sense of belonging and community togetherness through community-led events and initiatives.
  3. Tackle anti-social behaviour through engaging early with young people in targeted locations.
  4. Tackle criminality, anti-social behaviour and environmental issues linked to tents, rough sleeping and begging in the City Centre.
  5. Tackle embedded health inequalities to help improve physical, mental and general wellbeing in our communities.
  6. Bring partners together to tackle crime and disorder, and support communities to feel safer where they live and work.

These neighbourhood priorities have a strong alignment with the Council Plan Pillars and will be pivotal in the delivery of the plan itself, as well as wider partnership city plans and strategies.

The neighbourhood model explained

Each neighbourhood is led by a designated manager who works collaboratively with council services and partners to identify and address the key issues facing the neighbourhood.

By adopting the neighbourhood approach rather than 'one size fits all' model, we will ensure solutions are tailored. We will:

  • use data and insight
  • listen to and understand local needs and demands model
  • work alongside our diverse communities to drive improvements
  • achieve the best possible outcomes at a neighbourhood level
