Liverpool City Region Development Update 2026

In 2017, Rotheram was elected as the first ever Liverpool City Region Mayor, representing 1.6m people across the boroughs of Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and the Wirral and was subsequently re-elected in 2021. Since taking office, he has created 60,000 jobs, 30,000 apprenticeships and 30,000 homes. He has taken the historic decision to take back control of the region’s buses, launched a new £500m fleet of publicly owned fleet of trains, and led the region’s economic recovery from the pandemic with a £150m COVID Recovery Fund. In 2024, Rotheram was elected for a third term as Mayor with 68% of the vote, his highest personal mandate and more than any other elected Mayor in the country.
