Goal 4 outcomes (16 to 20)

To realise our goal, we will progress the following outcomes:

  1. Local people are proud of where they live

    We will work together in neighbourhoods to identify and address the priorities that matter to local people. This may include promoting clean and green places, reinvigorating high streets and the public realm, and supporting important community hubs. It may also include shaping and designing locally responsive and accessible services.

  2. Our community organisations are strong and resilient

    We will work with residents, and the voluntary, community and faith sectors to support community action and build capacity. These organisations provide a crucial and complementary role in delivering services that meet the needs of local people, so it is vital that they are empowered and sustained to work alongside public services in supporting residents and communities.

  3. People feel they belong to the city, and to their neighbourhood

    We will work to ensure that Liverpool is a diverse, vibrant and welcoming city for all. We will oversee a city-wide strategic approach to advancing cohesion, inclusion and anti-racism, which will be supported through diverse creative and sporting programmes. We will enhance our approach to co-design, active listening and community engagement.

  4. Public services are more responsive to the different views and ideas of our citizens

    We will build skills and capacity within our workforce to enable public servants to regularly create services and activities in collaboration with local people. This will help us deliver more targeted, appropriate and culturally competent services that support thriving local neighbourhoods. As part of this, we will also collectively improve our capacity and approach to listening to, and engaging with, the diverse voices of our communities.

  5. Neighbourhoods are safer and people feel safer

    Partners will provide an effective multiagency approach to addressing crime and improving safety in the home. Working with our communities to identify solutions, we will build trust and confidence by reducing harm and tackling crime and anti-social behaviour that impacts on local people.
