Liberal Party Budget amendment approved:

Art the city council it was the Liberal Party who moved, once again, amendments to the budget where we identified what needed to be done and how to raise the cash

This year we called for the target for sales of assets like derelict houses and land to be raised from £6m to £10.5m so to carry out capital work restoring historic buildings such as Lister Drive Library. Speaking to the debate Liberal Party Leader boomed that in every ward there were dozens of waste land sites and derelict houses owned by the council, Liverpool City  Council was a landlord of mass neglect.

He added every boarded up house represeted a drain on the community and its sale would give private and local builders real opportunities, a win win siuation!

At this point Lib Dem Leader Cllr Warren Bradley accepted the amendment

However a second Liberal Party amendment calling for the press office be reduced by one third and money be put into frontline services such as community safety was defeated. This move was eveb more needed as the Labour Government had reduced the community safety grant to the council
