South Liverpool neighbourhood agreement
The South Liverpool neighbourhood covers the Cressington, Mossley Hill, Speke-Garston, Belle Vale, Allerton and Hunts Cross wards. Its neighbourhood agreement (NA) is the primary service planning document for the neighbourhood.
This neighbourhood is one of the most economically diverse neighbourhoods in the city, and, as such, a one-size-fits-all approach is inappropriate. The council and its partners will be working together, using the South Liverpool NA as their basis, to close the gap between the better and worst wards and to improve the quality of life of all South Liverpool residents.
The South Liverpool six-ward committee agreed the draft South Liverpool neighbourhood agreement on the 27 March 2007. They also agreed that further work would be carried out on the agreement, including work to further define the actions (see the committee minutes for more information).
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.
- Economic development and enterprise

Governance, delivery and performance monitoring of South Liverpool neighbourhood
The political leadership required to oversee the implementation of the agreement will be provided by the eighteen councillors of the South Liverpool 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. The South Liverpool six-ward committee has agreed that the following working groups will be established:
- economic development and enterprise
- safer, stronger communities
- children and young people
- healthier communities and older people
- physical regeneration.
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 South Liverpool six-ward committee.
The co-ordination of the agreement will be carried out by the South Liverpool neighbourhood management service, with the neighbourhood manager, Christine Peach, having overall operational responsibility. The neighbourhood team can be contacted on 0151 233 3018 or via email at: southliverpoolneighbourhood@liverpool.gov.uk.
