Mayor Steve Rotheram has unveiled a plan to add £10bn to the Liverpool City Region economy and create tens of thousands of jobs.

Focusing on advanced manufacturing, life sciences, digital, creative industries, and clean energy, the strategy also invests in skills, housing, transport, and infrastructure to drive long-term growth.

Developed with local partners across business, government, and education, the plan aims to boost productivity, attract investment, and improve opportunities for 1.6 million residents.

Steve Rotheram, Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, said: ‘Our Growth Plan is a blueprint for a fairer, greener, more prosperous future - one where ambition, partnership and determination come together to create jobs, power homes with clean energy, and give every child the chance to reach their full potential here.’

Minister for Devolution, Faith and Communities, Miatta Fahnbulleh, said: ‘This bold Growth Plan shows exactly what devolution can achieve when local leaders are empowered to unlock their region's potential.

‘Liverpool City Region's ambition to add £10bn to their economy whilst creating tens of thousands of jobs shows how communities can drive national growth from the ground up – helping us move forward with our Plan for Change.’
