\nSteve Rotheram opens up on what life's been like as Metro Mayor in the pandemic and a big post-lockdown idea for Liverpool City Region
\n
\n\n\nSteve Rotheram has revealed what life has been like as Metro Mayor during the coronavirus crisis and how he believes mass vaccination has given hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel for our region.
\n
\n\n\nHe says a post-pandemic plan is already being developed which will put Liverpool City Region at the forefront of IT and creative excellence, competing against worldwide super-powers like New York, Barcelona and Paris.
\n
\n\u201cWe are an internationally acclaimed and recognised brand \u2013 that\u2019s why it\u2019s called Liverpool City Region, because Liverpool is a global door-opener and I don\u2019t think, other than London, there\u2019s anything that can touch us,\u201d he says.
\n
\n\n\nSteve spoke to The Guide Liverpool about how he sees the region recovering and the fight to secure financial support for our visitor economy and forgotten workers. And he tells us what he\u2019s missed most during lockdown \u2026
