Joanne Anderson is keen to show the change from her predecessor and aims to rebuild trust
Liverpool’s new mayor has pledged to appoint external, independent chairs to oversee aspects of council decision-making and to listen to the opinions of all the city’s residents, not just those of “a selected few”.
Joanne Anderson made history this month when she became the first black woman to be a directly elected as mayor of a major UK city. Aside from the strides in terms of diversity – every previous leader of Liverpool has been a white man – Anderson is determined that her leadership will be the beginning of a fresh start for the city.
