An extra £4.4m in funding for the controversial West Kirby sea wall has been unanimously approved by Wirral Council.
Despite some disagreement among councillors about the scheme which is in the final stages of construction, all voted to approve the funding which will come from the Environment Agency, a government organisation.
Concerns over the budget for the scheme have been raised in recent weeks which has now risen to nearly £15.9m as well as a wider impact on businesses in West Kirby who have been affected by a drop in footfall linked to the construction.
