Councils across the Liverpool City Region have issued a list of public notices in the past seven days. These are important documents which act as a public record of key decisions in the city region and keep citizens across the local authority areas informed of their council’s decision making.
From planning applications, to bins, to parking, councils are duty bound to make their decisions available to the public. This is part of the transparency and accountability policies all local authorities must adhere to.
Public notices are surfaced on the main pages of local news websites, further enhancing people’s access to and understanding of important information about planning, construction, transport links, roadworks, and licensing changes in their local area.
