Over £18m will be added to Knowsley Council’s spending after plans were approved tonight.
The proposals, for investment in projects across the borough ranging from cemetery extensions to town centre development, were hailed as “real bricks and mortar" investment by Knowsley's cabinet member for finance and resources Cllr Jayne Ashton.
Presenting the plans to cabinet at a meeting which took place at Huyton Municipal buildings, Cllr Ashton said as well as funding for additional school places, money was also being spent on disabled facilities, highway improvements, the extension of Knowsley cemetery and further work on the Shakespeare North Playhouse.
