Plans to transform part of Liverpool’s historic waterfront have taken a step forward.
In November, it was announced that National Museums Liverpool (NML) and Tate Liverpool had tabled a joint bid for the first round of the Government's Levelling Up fund. The joint bid, overseen in partnership with Liverpool city council, was successful in securing £20m to spent on a range of projects focussing on Liverpool’s waterfront.
At Friday’s cabinet meeting the Government's Levelling up money was waved through and has paved the way for the works to take place over the next two years - undertaken as two separate schemes led by NML and Tate Liverpool. At the meeting, Assistant Mayors Cllr Sarah Doyle and Cllr Harry Doyle explained that both schemes are central to the City Region’s economy and that cultural “added-value” attracts both business and talent to the city.
