Five district committees made up of councillors will manage youth service budgets in consultation with local youth forums. Paul Clein, executive member for children's services, said: "We want a service that is tailored to meet the needs of young people."
Liverpool's youth service has a budget of 5.5m, 2.5m of which funds central offices and city-wide youth work. The rest will be split up among five district committees, each consisting of two neighbourhood committees.
Seventy per cent of the money will be divided according to the number of 13- to 19-year-olds in each district, 10 per cent in relation to the number of reports of antisocial behaviour among young people and 20 per cent in relation to the number of free school meals as an indicator of poverty.
