Overview
Liverpool City Region is a mayoral combined authority and local enterprise partnership area in North West England.
The area comprises six local authorities: the five metropolitan boroughs in the county of Merseyside (City of Liverpool, Knowsley, St Helens, Sefton, Wirral) and the Borough of Halton in the county of Cheshire.
'Liverpool city region' is also widely used as an apolitical umbrella term to describe the geographical area containing the six council areas. For example, for promotional, media, business or tourism purposes.
The city region covers a population of 1,551,800 as of 2021, making it the fourth largest combined authority area in England.
