Public-source routes for the first source-volume proof. Recheck each before generated copy or issue automation.
Council - core
Council announcements, service changes, resident notices and city policy updates.
Proof gate: Recheck article dates and whether the item is Liverpool City Council, not wider city-region, before issue copy.
Planning - core
Planning applications, decisions and development claims for city-centre, waterfront and neighbourhood coverage.
Proof gate: The council says applications and recent decisions are published on its Licensing and Regulations system; verify the record in LAR before summarising.
Democracy - core
Cabinet, council and committee papers for civic-record claims.
Proof gate: Quote committee names, dates and decisions only after opening the agenda/minute record.
Transport - core
Bus, rail, tunnel and Mersey Ferries disruptions for morning commuter utility.
Proof gate: Transport claims are perishable; recheck same morning and separate bus, rail, tunnel and ferry impacts.
Safety - high
Police appeals, public-safety notices and incident updates requiring cautious wording.
Proof gate: Avoid naming suspects or repeating allegations beyond police wording; include emergency-service context only when current.
Weather - core
Daily forecast, rain, heat, wind and morning planning context.
Proof gate: Use Met Office warnings pages for warning claims and recheck before publishing weather-sensitive copy.
Events - high
Visitor economy, major events, family activities and weekend planning discovery.
Proof gate: Confirm event dates, ticket status and venue pages before issue or sponsor copy.
Business and economy - high
City-centre footfall and spend signals for advertiser-density proof and sponsor timing.
Proof gate: Treat figures as BID-area indicators, not whole-city claims; record the period and metric label.
Business and economy - medium
BID services, business updates, levy-payer context and city-centre commercial source discovery.
Proof gate: Do not imply endorsement, partnership or member access without written proof.
Education - high
University, research, public events and student-corridor updates.
Proof gate: Separate university PR from resident utility and confirm campus/event relevance.
Education - high
LJMU, student, skills, research, public lectures and city economy updates.
Proof gate: Confirm Liverpool relevance for wider research stories before inclusion.
Education and events - medium
Open-day travel, family visitor demand and student sponsor timing.
Proof gate: Recheck the date list before dated copy; university event schedules change.
Commercial lanes are proof targets, not outreach approval.
