The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority brings together region’s six local councils – Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral – to tackle the big issues that matter to the region.

The authority has taken powers and funding from the national government to through a ‘devolution’ deal. This means it can take decisions and make investments locally, where it knows what the region needs, instead of them being taken by politicians and officials in London.

The Combined Authority works together to make investments in areas that have a real impact on communities, like transport, employment and skills, culture, digital and housing. By using its devolved powers, it can make a real and meaningful difference to the lives of the people living and working in the area.
