Investments in increased CCTV and community organisations will be made through a financial support package following a series of tragic shootings last summer across Liverpool.
In the space of just seven days last August, three people across the city were senselessly gunned down. Sam Rimmer, 22, was killed in Dingle on August 16, while within 24 hours, Knowsley Council worker Ashley Dale, 28, and Olivia Pratt-Korbel, nine, were murdered in their homes.
In response to the killings, then Home Secretary Priti Patel announced cash would be directed into communities around where they had occurred to support residents and strengthen resilience. That money must be spent by March 31 this year and where it will be allocated has now been confirmed.
