Welcome to Liverpool!

An open letter from Liverpool City Council Leader, Cllr Liam Robinson, to Labour Party conference delegates coming to the city….

I am delighted to welcome the Labour Party conference to our city.

I know from previous visits how much delegates appreciate our friendly welcome.

It’s a hugely important event, generating an estimated £30 million for our local economy.

This year, for the first time ever, we are hosting the conference when Labour is the party of Government.

It is a real honour to host the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers, together with delegates from across the country and the Labour movement, in Liverpool.

It also presents us with a real opportunity to demonstrate the ambition we have for the city and the wider region, and how we can support Government to deliver on its key missions.

Over the coming days, we will be working with partners in the public and private sector to showcase some of the excellent work happening locally, such as our housing schemes, our higher education sector, our culture and life sciences.

Our message is clear and simple: Liverpool stands ready to work hand in hand with regional and national government to deliver.

Enjoy your time in the city, and we look forward to welcoming you back again.

Cllr Liam Robinson, Leader of Liverpool City Council
