Building back bolder

摘要

Having largely gone under the radar for decades, St Helens is about to soar. From major regeneration plans and a global centre of excellence to its a pioneering approach to health and social care, this Merseyside borough has the building blocks to transform its image and future prospects.Situated on the easternmost edge of the Liverpool City Region, it has great connectivity into Manchester to the west and Cheshire to the south.Some would argue St Helens has been a success story waiting the happen. So what's different?Since David Baines became leader in May 2019, the council has been under a new generation of political leadership and is now reaping the benefits of a new executive leadership team under chief executive Kath O'Dwyer. The council has essentially hit the fast forward button on everything good that's happening in the borough while throwing open the doors to new opportunities.
