Liverpool Council missed deadline for crucial £2m funding

The council was awarded nearly £2.1m by the government's Department of Levelling Up to provide accommodation for Ukrainian and Afghan refugees in the city.

The cash is provided to councils to help address immediate pressures from temporarily housing refugees as well as increasing the stock of affordable homes for the future settlement of refugees in the city.
