Welcome to Liverpool City Council's corporate performance plan 2006/09.
This plan sets out our targets to sustain the improvement of council services for the next three years.
Over the last year, despite major changes at the top of the organisation, we maintained our drive to improve the quality of life for Liverpool's people, highlights include:
- Paradise street development - the £900m retail-led project is on schedule, with new car park and bus station now open
- Kings Dock - The main arena and convention centre works have started on site
- Met Quarter - recently opened as a venue for top designer names including Timberland, Armani, Hugo Boss, All Saints, Flannels, Molton Brown and Coast
- Edge Lane - regeneration scheme being given the go-ahead
- Cruise liner facility - The legal agreements have now been signed with works due to start on site in Spring 2006
- GCSE results - The best results by 16- year-olds ever
- Community justice centre - the first community justice centre opened in north Liverpool, working with local people to tackle offences such as vandalism, antisocial behaviour, fly-tipping and graffiti
- 50m Olympic size swimming pool at Wavertree - the construction contract has been signed
- Housing - we have maintained progress towards unlocking investment of £690m for private and £300m for public housing in the city.
We have taken great strides to improve over the last six years. The latest figures show that over a quarter of our service indicators are top-performing. Our rate of improvement slowed however over the last year compared with other councils.
We are taking steps to further strengthen our leadership and management so we can work more effectively with partners to deliver quality, cost-effective services and an improved quality of life for our residents.
I want to express my thanks to our staff and partner agencies for all their hard work. We still have much to do, but we remain committed to our ambition to take Liverpool to its rightful position as a premier European city.
Cllr. Warren Bradley
Leader, Liverpool City Council
