Currently the local authority spends nearly £90m on the site

It is time for Liverpool Council to “get out of the way” and hand over the operation of its cruise terminal to the private sector according to senior officials.

Liverpool Council has operated the terminal since 2007. A report to go to the culture select committee next week set out how due to “best value reasons” the city intends to step away from its current arrangement. Outlining the future steps, Ms Redhead told the ECHO how costs for the council had increased to around £90m. She said: “It’s always been about passenger spend.”
