Liverpool City Region is a combined authority area in North West England. It has six council areas; five Merseyside metropolitan boroughs (Liverpool, Knowsley, St Helens, Sefton, Wirral) and the Cheshire unitary authority of Halton.[3] The region had a population of 1,571,045 in 2022.[4]

The region's mayor and combined authority (LCRCA) have a devolution deal responsible for economic development, regeneration, transport, employment and skills, tourism, culture, housing, spatial planning and physical infrastructure.[5][6][7]

The region's economic development was supported by the Liverpool City Region Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), established in 2010 as the private sector-led board comprising political and business leaders from around the city region.[8] The LEP's functions were merged into the combined authority in 2023.[9]
