Liverpool asks chancellor to ‘step up talks’ on financial support

SR echoes concerns about financial support.

He put them on COBRA this week.

As a result, they have made a commitment that the government will continue to engage in meaningful conversations on this.

So he, Joe Anderson and five relevant council leaders have written to the Chancellor asking for those talks to be “escalated.”

Those who have been hit hard by the restrictions that take effect today need additional help, which cannot come soon enough.

While they wait to see if they can get more financial concessions from the government, the local system is going to “take the initiative at the local level.”

If the government doesn’t act to protect jobs, he says, we will.

They have invested their own £ 40 million to provide an interim plan, although that was when they were at Tier 2.

So now they are revising it to take into account the third level. Their goal is to improve the licensing scheme – ‘license light’ – to provide something that will do “what the government has failed to do.”

Final details of his outline will be released tomorrow.
