Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram provided Members with an update on his recent activities and key developments since the last meeting of the LCR Combined Authority.

The Metro Mayor explained that the previous week had been dominated by the fallout from the Champions League Final in Paris and spoke about the events off the pitch. He referred to the video footage which showed the chaotic scenes outside the stadium, which had been caused by poor policing and stewardship. Supporters had been directed into routes which ended abruptly and caused unnecessary pinch-points. Furthermore, at the perimeter of the ground, supporters had pepper spray and tear gas sprayed at them.

The Metro Mayor advised Members that he was working with Liverpool Football Club, MP’s and the Supporters Union to follow up with UFEA and the French Government’ Furthermore, he had appeared before the French Senate Committee and had expressed his concerns about how matters were handled off the pitch.

Metro Mayor Rotheram referred to the disruption which had been caused to large numbers of passengers following the cancellation of several Merseyrail services on the Kirkby and New Brighton line. He explained that these cancellations were due to a series of unexpected faults on the old fleet. He offered his sincere apologies to those residents who had been affected by the disruption and explained that urgent repairs would be carried out and it was hoped that the situation would return to normal in the coming weeks. He noted that this disruption demonstrated the importance of having the new rolling stock in service this year.

Metro Mayor Rotheram explained that the Combined Authority held two crucial summits during May, one focused on the mental health in a post covid work and the other focussed on active travel in the City Region.

He explained that both were extremely well attended and took the opportunity to thank all staff who had been involved in the organisation of the events. Furthermore, at the Active Travel summit it was announced that the Combined Authority would be providing an additional £12m into walking and cycling across the City Region, which would ensure that the 600km loop became a reality.

In conclusion, the Metro Mayor explained that he had undertaken a number of visits across the City Region and they included:

·       A visit Southport to speak to local residents;

·       Viewed the digital loop project in Kirkby;

·       Visited New Brighton along with Councillor Williamson to discuss potential investment opportunities in the area.

To consider the report of the Executive Director Place and the Portfolio Holder: Transport and Air Quality.

The LCR Combined Authority considered a report of the Executive Director Place and Portfolio Holder for Transport and Air Quality which set out the City Region’s significant level of ambition for the regions bus offer as part of the delivery of a London-style transport system.

Councillor L Robinson, Chair of the Transport Committee (2021-22), emphasised the importance of the bus network to the City Region. He explained that the Combined Authority had submitted an ambitious funding request to the Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) and it had recently been announced that the Combined Authority would receive an allocation of £12,294,398. He expressed his disappointment at this allocation and emphasised that work would continue to secure further funding from Government to support the Combined Authority’s ambitions for Bus in the region.

With regards to the BSIP funding allocation, Councillor Robinson reported that the proposed initiative would be to improve affordability and simplicity of bus fares for an initial period of up to three years by reducing the single bus fare to £2 across all bus services in the region.  Furthermore, the price of the My Ticket would be frozen to £2.20 and the funding would also seek to support the delivery of ‘tap-and-go’. In conclusion, Councillor Robinson explained that by reducing the flat fare, this would also reduce the fare for travelling by bus through the Mersey Tunnels.

RESOLVED – That:

(i)              the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority restates its full endorsement and support for the LCR’s Vision for Bus and the projects that make up the region’s BSIP, including the use of powers available to Local Authorities to prioritise buses on the LCR’s road network in line with the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement;

(ii)             the acceptance of BSIP revenue funding expected to be £12,294,398 be accepted;

(iii)           the allocation of the majority of the government’s indicative BSIP allocation on initiatives to reduce the cost of bus travel across the region as set out in Appendices 1 and 2 be approved;

(iv)           BSIP proposals including a reduction in the cost of bus season tickets, enhancing the network, increasing the number of zero emission buses in the region and developing Bus Rapid Transit schemes cannot be taken forward at this stage due to a lack of funding from government; and

(v)            Delegated authority be granted to the Executive Director Place (Director General Merseytravel) in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Transport and Air Quality, to finalise and submit any further documentation required by the BSIP process. 

To consider the report of the Executive Director of Investment and Delivery and the Portfolio Holder Housing and Spatial Planning.

The LCR Combined Authority considered a report of the Executive Director for Investment and Delivery and the Portfolio Holders for Housing and Spatial Planning and Climate Emergency and Renewable Energy which sought approval to accept up to £4.51m in European Regional Development Funding (ERDF).

Councillor Graham Morgan, Portfolio Holder for Housing and Spatial Planning, advised Members that the existing retrofit programmes were already improving energy efficiency in homes across the City Region and this was supporting households against the rising energy costs and helping to tackle fuel poverty. Councillor Morgan explained that by continuing to work in partnership with social landlords across the City Region, the programme could be extended further. However, he stressed that there were challenging timescales associated with the funding which would require the Combined Authority, Local Authorities and partners to work at pace to ensure delivery.

Councillor Morgan explained that the report also provided an update on the delivery against the Brownfield Land Fund, which was the City Region’s first devolved fund specifically for housing. He welcomed the progress which had been made to date, which had resulted in plans for almost 2,000 quality homes for residents. However, he expressed his frustration with Government and how, if greater flexibility over funding was available, more could be achieved.

Councillor David Baines, Portfolio Holder for Climate Emergency and Renewable Energy, welcomed the receipt of the additional £4.5m ERDF funding. Councillor Baines explained that the funding would support the Net Zero Carbon agenda by improving the energy efficiency of up to 519 homes across the City Region. He paid tribute to the collaborative working between the Combined Authority, Local Authorities and four Registered Providers who had pooled resources to keep retrofit funding in the City Region. In conclusion, Councillor Baines explained that this was the fourth round of retrofit funding over the last 12 months and brought the total grant aid to almost £60m. However, he emphasised that further funding was required, and he would continue to pursue this.

RESOLVED – That:

(i)          £4.51m ERDF funds to deliver the Retrofit for the Future programme with Registered Providers by June 2023 be accepted;

(ii)         Delegated authority be granted to the Executive Director of Investment and Delivery in consultation with the Executive Director of Corporate Services and Chief Legal Officer to enter into legal arrangements with Sefton Council to ensure effective delivery of housing retrofit priorities using this additional ERDF funding;
