"This period is incredibly difficult for everyone whose lives were affected by the events of the day, including those who rushed to support and our emergency responders.
They remain always in our thoughts."
Municipal officials arranged neighborhood spaces for individual grieving preferences.
"Our colleagues have been working with faith and community leaders to once again identify local spaces where you can go, within your own neighbourhoods, to say a prayer, light a candle, speak to someone or spend a quiet moment reflecting in whatever way feels right for you," the council stated.
The council reiterated that mental health and guidance professionals remained accessible.
"We fully understand that many of us still need to grieve and to acknowledge the day and there is no right or wrong way to do this," the letter said.
Knowsley Council Leader Cllr Morgan expressed solidarity.
"Today, on the second anniversary of the Southport tragedy, we stand in solidarity with Southport and with all those impacted," Morgan said.

"We remember Alice, Bebe and Elsie, and keep their families, friends and all those whose lives were changed that day in our thoughts."
Victims' Families Establish Charities
In the two years since the tragedy, the parents of all three victims established charitable foundations: Bebe's Hive, Elsie's Story, and Alice's Wonderdance.
These foundations assist local youth and support children navigating bereavement.
The town also initiated plans to regenerate Town Hall gardens outside The Atkinson into an inclusive community space dedicated to the victims' memory.
