Liverpool East neighbourhood agreement
The Liverpool East neighbourhood covers the Knotty Ash, Yew Tree, West Derby, Tuebrook & Stoneycroft, Old Swan and Anfield. Its neighbourhood agreement (NA) is the primary service planning document for the neighbourhood.
Liverpool East is a varied neighbourhood, with some areas experiencing significant poverty, such as Anfield, and others more affluence, such as West Derby and Knotty Ash.
A number of major investment and renewal schemes are currently underway to improve the employment, housing, education, transport, retail and leisure facilities in the area, with this neighbourhood agreement being at the forefront of these.
The key issues, along with the locally defined priorities and actions are listed under the four 'block' headings in the city-wide Liverpool area agreement. Click on the headings below to view them.

Governance, delivery and performance monitoring of Liverpool East neighbourhood agreement
The political leadership required to oversee the implementation of the agreement will be provided by the eighteen councillors of the Liverpool East neighbourhood. They will also hold all partners to account for their performance. The committee, including advisory members, will meet three times a year to monitor and review progress, including that against the measures in Appendix 1.
The agreement doesn't set out all the actions that will be taken to achieve the neighbourhood's priorities. These will be defined and driven through the various theme-based neighbourhood partnership working groups to be established within the neighbourhood, and made up of council staff, partner agencies and local councillors.
During the coming year, these groups will be formed by combining together, where necessary, any current structures, and will devise their own work programmes and report on their progress to the Liverpool East six-ward committee.
The co-ordination of the agreement will be carried out by the Liverpool East neighbourhood management service, with the neighbourhood manager, John Oakley, having overall operational responsibility. The neighbourhood team can be contacted on 0151 233 3018 or via email at: easternlinkneighbourhood@liverpool.gov.uk
