Council tax payers in Wirral will be hit in the pocket from April, after plans for a 2.99% rise were confirmed.
Wirral Council needs to save £20m in the upcoming financial year, after two government reports slated the authority for failing to take tough decisions.
The council plans to save this money by withdrawing funding for Woodchurch Leisure Centre, nine libraries, two public golf courses and more, although local groups will be given several months to take them over and keep them going.
