Heartbroken for Andy and his family at the loss of his dad. Alzheimer’s is a cruel disease that slowly robs people of themselves, while taking a heavy toll on the families who love them. Sending Andy and the whole Burnham family my deepest sympathies and all my love at such a difficult time.

📰 VISITOR LEVY | Steve has joined fellow mayors in committing that, if an Overnight Visitor Levy is introduced locally, it will be capped at 5%. Any levy would be subject to local consultation - including with businesses and the accommodation sector. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/t…

🚨NEW: The government has announced that mayors will be handed the power to introduce an Overnight Visitor Levy. A modest levy could raise £18m a year for the Liverpool City Region - and be directly reinvested back into the things that make our visitor economy such a success.

It's always nice to get a shout out from the Prime Minister. 👏
