RADICAL plans for the future of Liverpool were unveiled in the city last night.
During his speech, at the council's annual dinner following the city's mayor-making ceremony, Cllr Storey pledged to:
* create 10,000 new jobs aimed at the most deprived areas of Liverpool;
* urge Merseyside Police to introduce a dedicated local officer to every local area;
* increase the city's population to 500,000 again (currently around 438,000);
* end the city's North/South divide by tackling the problems of north Liverpool;
* introduce on-the-spot fines for dropping litter;
* recruit 500 new street wardens to tackle anti-social behaviour.
Coun Storey told councillors: "We won Capital of Culture. We're about to be named a World Heritage City. Property prices are booming, businesses are thriving, employment is rising, prosperity is growing."

PS...Liverpool, said Mr Storey, was the UK's fastest growing city with the city centre population up by 300% in a decade.
