Liverpool Council is set to agree to sweeping changes that will see major changes to when elections are held and how many councillors serve the city - and will potentially hold a city-wide referendum on the future of the mayoralty next year.
The city council has formally set out its response to the damning government inspection published by Max Caller in April.

The final plans for Norfolk electoral boundary changes will see thousands of people waking up in new or renamed wards.
The three areas that will see the most radical changes are Melton Constable in North Norfolk, Fincham in West Norfolk - both of which will no longer exist - and Hethersett in South Norfolk, which will be in a new ward.
Other areas will see bits split off into other wards, for example, North Walsham West and Erpingham would be split, with North Walsham West combine with Mundesley and a separate Erpingham ward.
