BLOG: Following a trade and investment mission to the United States, Liverpool’s Head of UNESCO City of Music, Kevin McManus spent some time in New York looking at ways in which to boost music tourism to Liverpool. He writes about how the trip explored how more meaningful links can be developed between the two great music cities. "You can make a good argument that the two greatest music cities in the world are Liverpool and New York. ( Nashville, Memphis and New Orleans may try and force themselves into the reckoning as well but let’s ignore them for now…!) "I was fortunate enough to recently spend a couple of days in New York as part of a Liverpool City Region Combined Authority mission to the US and was keen to look at what opportunities there are to link the two cities’ music sectors to our mutual advantage. "There are no two ways about it, New York is an amazing city with an incredible music heritage which is why almost every musician wants to play there. New York is still a hugely important centre for the music industry and I was there to see what meaningful links we could begin to develop between the two cities. Historically of course The Beatles led the British music invasion of the US in the ‘60s and the Strawberry Fields corner of Central Park is a memorial to the life of John Lennon. "There are more recent success stories such as that of Sentric Music, the Liverpool founded music publisher which still has its HQ in our city, but has its North American base in New York. I caught up with the Sentric team who are steadily building the company’s US profile which is great advertisement for the fact that you can grow a global music business from Liverpool. "We had a really useful, practical session with Visit Britain and we were able to talk to them about the strength of the Liverpool music brand and how we could work together to grow music tourism to the city..."

BLOG | With just under a week to go until the Chancellor’s first budget, Council Leader Liam Robinson, explains why Liverpool City Council continues to manage our finances in a sound and prudent way. You’d have to have been living under a rock for the last three months not to know that the mood music coming from HM Treasury has not been positive. The inherited 14 years of austerity, the cost of living crisis and a £22 billion black hole in the nation’s finances means that difficult decision will need to be made. But we are seeing positive steps from the Government. A commitment to longer term financial settlements for councils; a pay rise for public sector workers; a commitment to planning reform to improve growth; funding for 300 new school-based nurseries and money for councils to build on brownfield sites is just the beginning of the change. Whilst we wait for the budget and for the dedicated spending review in the Spring, in Liverpool we are prudently basing our financial planning assumptions to make sure we manage our spend and make sure we account for every pound. In terms of spending, most of our money goes on things we are legally obliged to provide, such as adults and children’s social care to keep vulnerable people safe.  These two departments alone account for well over half of our total net budget – and demand for them has been rising due to a growing older population and more families needing support.  We’re also putting a huge amount of emphasis on making sure we bring in all the money we’re owed. Successes this year include: Business Rates revenue up £7.2 million Council Tax revenue up £9.3 million Council Tax arrears collection up £1.7 million In addition, a review of the single person Council Tax discount to make sure only eligible households are claiming has brought in an additional £750k, while property debt enforcement has recovered £318k.  This programme of work will only accelerate, as we put ourselves on a firmer financial footing for the long-term. This is vital if we are to protect and improve the services each and every resident of Liverpool cherishes.
