2012....

The LEP will take shape, belatedly but this is important in providing the economic as well as political leadership the region needs.

The City Mayor debate will probably fizzle out for Liverpool, but I'm not particularly bothered about that.

The city and wider region will demonstrate what communal solidarity means, in terms of co-operation, self-organisation, and coping with change. We are likely to see an increase in crime, disorder and alienation, and my hope and belief for 2012 is that Liverpool will not be as badly affected as other places. A tradition of communal solidarity is very important: when you are battening down the hatches, it matters who is with you.

My sense is that 2012 will be an important but not decisive year in whatever transition we are in: I think a city (in the widest sense) that can manifest culture, humour against adversity, tenacity and grit will find itself in a good place once we are thrown into whatever tumult the nation finds itself in.

More than anything, 2012 is a year for the real leaders of the city region to stand up and be counted. I don't mean local authority leaders (certainly not the Lab/Con/Lib Dem represenatives of the self-serving and absurd little districts and under-bounded city that we were gifted by Government) but the real cultural, economic, business, civic, community and political leaders. I think there are leaders living in the city reigon who we don't even know about yet, or who we assume can only do one thing (eg run a social enterprise, run a club, run a society, run a business), who will step up to the crisis and offer a way forward.

I'm quite optimistic that Liverpool can deal well with the coming austerity and prove itself a place with real value and staying power.

Feel free to add...

There's also a University Technical College specialising in the bio-medical sciences, engineering and healthcare to be built somewhere in North Liverpool,that's due too open in 2013.They're still undecided on the site but Edge Lane has been muted.

If it isn't a really stupid question what is kings dock mill phase two?

Kings Dock Mill is a three-phase development (although it looks like Phases 2 & 3 will be delivered together). Phase 1 was the Hampton by Hilton hotel in the Baltic Triangle. Phases 2 & 3 will be the re-development of adjacent land, currently occupied by former industrial units and the existing YHA youth hostel, to provide a new youth hostel, hotel, retail, apartments, exhibition and gallery space, and an MSCP.
