Watch again: Liverpool City Region mayoral election debate

People across Merseyside and Halton will head to the polls on 2 May to elect the next mayor of the Liverpool City Region.

The role, created in 2017, is designed to provide a closer link between the city region and central government, and to enable more local decision-making.

BBC Radio Merseyside hosted a debate between four of the candidates on 17 April.

The debate will also be screened on BBC One in the North West of England from 22:45 BST.

All five candidates will be appearing on BBC Radio Merseyside in the week beginning 22 April.
