Seminar Three in the Engage Seminar Series is looking at devolution and governance across the Liverpool City Region. People often get confused about the responsibilities of the two Mayors, one the elected Mayor for the City and the other the elected Metro Mayor for the City Region. What powers have been devolved to the Metro Mayor and what powers will come in the future? Is the City Region starting to cooperate and work together after a long history of rivalry and antagonism? Is there a role for city centre residents to play in the new emerging City Region Combined Authority?
