The “frightening” cost of living crisis is being treated like another pandemic in Sefton, according to a senior cabinet member.
Cllr Ian Moncur, who is Sefton Council’s cabinet member for health and wellbeing, made the comments during a discussion about the impacts of the crisis on residents in the borough.
Executive director Andrea Watts presented a series of reports into the situation for Sefton to a meeting of the council’s health and wellbeing board, held at Bootle Town Hall this afternoon (September 28.)
