Wirral’s council leader suggested levelling up funds might have been “strategically awarded” after Wirral lost out on £12m.
The government last night announced £2.1bn that would go towards more than 100 projects. While the North West as a whole got a bigger share of the money than some areas, cities like Liverpool and Manchester missed out and only two areas in Merseyside got funding.
Council leader and Liscard councillor Janette Williamson said she was “angry and deflated" Wirral Council had lost the £12m bid to fund the regeneration of Liscard.
