For the start of 2010 Cressington Your Community Matters events are being held online, through the Liverpool First Discussion Forum.
Your Community Matters are a series of community focused events held in each neighbourhood, aimed at finding out from residents any issues or challenges they're facing on a day to day basis. Key partners are involved in the events and aim to resolve any issues that come out of them.
Cressington is the first ward to try this new method of engagement and so far residents, partners and councillors have joined the community. Some key issues have been raised and dealt with through the discussion forum.

The next RESPECT Week of Action is taking place in Princes Park between 8-14 February.
RESPECT is an initiative developed to build a stronger, more co-ordinated approach to tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB) and neighbourhood problems.
The programme also focuses on education and training as well as health and older people’s projects - a real eclectic mix - all designed to bring together communities in which we live and work.
Liverpool First has launched its long-term vision for Liverpool. The Liverpool First Sustainable Community Strategy, 'Liverpool 2024: a thriving international city' is a plan to improve the lives of every man, woman and child in the city over the next 15 years.
