Lord Heseltine - Liverpool 1979 , My Conversion to DevolutionLiverpool at the end of the 1970s was a city on the edge - not just geographically but economically and sociallyDeindustrialisation, depopulation and decay had eaten away at the urban fabric so severely that national politicians discussed letting Liverpool die
Michael Heseltine, Secretary of State for the Environment in the 1979 Conservative Government, saw it differentlyIgnoring the obituaries, he kickstarted a lasting process of regeneration, his tools including a development corporation to encourage investment and an extensive public programme of decontamination and land reclamationBut his experience also convinced him of the value of local decision-makingThe future of Liverpool, he believed, lay with Liverpudlians, whose energy and strategic vision were the key to lasting prosperity
Now, forty years on, Lord Heseltine returns to a vibrant, confident Liverpool to reflect on the roots of his belief in the power of devolution
