BLOG: Let’s make smoking in Liverpool history ⭐️ Following the #KingsSpeech, Professor Matthew Ashton, Liverpool’s Director of Public Health, shares his views on the proposed UK smoking ban, and #Liverpool’s new six-year Tobacco Control Strategy. This week marked a significant step in Liverpool’s #SmokeFree journey as the Liverpool Tobacco Control Alliance, a multi-disciplinary forum of professionals committed to making smoking in Liverpool history, joined forces to launch the City’s new Tobacco Control Strategy. Our strategy, which the Council’s Cabinet approved in June, is a bold document outlining our City’s approach for the next six years. It’s ambitious, aiming to reduce the proportion of smokers in Liverpool from just over 17 percent to 5 percent by 2030. This is more than just numbers on a page: it’s about changing lives, improving health and creating a smoke-free future for our City’s young people. The morning kicked off with a welcome from Cllr Harry Doyle, Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing & Culture. Cllr Doyle shared his thanks for all the hard work that has gone into creating this strategy with our Public Health team, as well as the various city partners in attendance. Seeing the diversity of people at the event, from healthcare professionals to community leaders, was a powerful reminder that reducing tobacco use is indeed, everyone’s business. Adding to the day’s importance, I am very mindful of the King’s Speech, which outlined plans to legislate banning the sale of cigarettes to anyone born on or after 1 January 2009. This announcement aligns with our local efforts and reinforces the national momentum towards a smoke-free future. It’s great to see that our City’s ambitions are part of a broader, national movement to protect the health of future generations. Liverpool stands ready to help deliver this ambition. The road ahead is long, and we are bound to face numerous challenges, but I am confident we have the dedication, expertise, and collective will to make a real difference. Together, we can deliver positive results and, ultimately, make smoking in Liverpool history. Camilla Mankabady | Jenny Turnross | Anne Marie Lubanski | Melisa Campbell

BLOG | Council Leader, Cllr Liam Robinson, welcomes today’s King’s Speech as a chance for local authorities to reset their relationship with the Government... The legislative agenda set out today includes some encouraging signs that the new Government recognises that, with the right powers and flexibilities, councils are critical to help it deliver its missions. Adequate long-term funding and more financial certainty through multi-year settlements will help us with our planning when it comes to delivering services that fit the needs of our residents. And the meeting held last week for regional Mayors – including Liverpool City Region Combined Authority Mayor Steve Rotheram - was a welcome sign of the willingness of the new administration to engage with locally elected representatives in a way that has never, ever happened before. We have long argued that Councils and Combined Authorities are best placed to help the Government deliver. We know our communities best – from schools to businesses; health needs to housing. Our message is: Give us the tools to do the job and we can do much of the heavy lifting for you. When we are given a chance to shine – such as with Capital of Culture, the Eurovision Song Contest or reopening society following the Covid pandemic – Liverpool has shown it can deliver. All we need is Government support to unlock the opportunities – and today’s King’s Speech fills me with optimism for the next five years. I also welcome the inclusion of the Hillsborough Law in this coming year’s legislative programme, which means the industrial-style cover-up about the events at Sheffield Wednesday’s ground in 1989 can never be repeated. I congratulate all of those who have been involved in campaigning for it to be placed on the statute books.

#News: The Council's Cabinet has agreed to adopt a new Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) which aims to redefine #activetravel in Liverpool over the coming decade. #Liverpool's LCWIP has identified important cycle routes and walking zones/routes, where improvements to walking and cycling facilities should be focused over the next 10 years. The document will also guide the design of both council-led and other development schemes. The primary objective for the LCWIP is to enable an increase in the number of people walking and cycling in Liverpool. For cycling, the LCWIP has generated a list of 13 strategic routes and 30 primary routes, for which 6 have been prioritised as short-term and 11 medium-term. For walking, the LCWIP has identified 36 core walking zones, with 15 identified as short-term priorities and 11 identified as medium term. The adoption comes as the Council begins work transforming two pop-up cycle lanes in Toxteth - and the creation of a new cycle lane connecting routes from the city centre to Otterspool and Sefton Park. Liverpool's plan also complements the Liverpool City Region LCWIP and supports the plans of Active Travel England (ATE). It also integrates with wider city transport and planning policy including the City Transport Plan, Public Realm Strategy and the Local Plan. The city's Transport Plan aims to address the fact that almost two thirds of all journeys in the city are car journeys. This generates almost half a million tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year and is a core plank of the Council's ambitions to achieve Net Zero. The Transport Plan identifies a number of interventions which could help the Council reduce those emissions by 50%, as well increase the number of cycle journeys ten-fold by 2027.
