The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (CA) will not be loaning Everton Football Club £30m towards its new stadium, Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram has confirmed.
Last year the CA, led by Mayor Rotheram, pledged a package of financial support to assist the Blues' new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium project.
The package included a £15m grant to help pay for infrastructure and heritage work at the site, and a £30m loan to help with overall costs.
