A major project to transform parts of Halewood is seven months behind schedule as a result of ‘government delays.’
Knowsley Council’s plans for the expansion of Halewood’s district centre had been announced as one of the proposals approved for the second round of government Levelling Up Funding earlier this year.
However, because of delays in the government announcing the results of the bid and further delays in putting together a memorandum of understanding about the £13.4m funding being provided for the project, a council report discussed at a meeting of Knowsley’s cabinet tonight said it had led to substantial delays in moving the project forward.
