Free parking, more allotments and council tax rises were part of a package of budget measures agreed at a meeting of Knowsley Council tonight.
Council tax will increase for residents across the borough by the maximum 2.99% after councillors agreed a budget which also saw some key investment initiatives.
Last month, councillors revealed Knowsley Council was in the “enviable” position of a budget surplus, although did not give details of how the council intended to spend it, saying the cabinet would “take some time” to consider their options before presenting them at the budget meeting.
