One area of Sefton has been left to deal with the “pain” of the borough’s house building boom but “none of the gain” according to a town council leader.
Maghull town council has called on Sefton Council to provide a “fair deal” to the area, saying that money from hundreds of new homes being built is being spent elsewhere and the lack of funding is behind a huge increase in its council tax precept.
Town councillors recently voted for a 13% increase on its precept – part of residents’ council tax bill used to maintain Maghull’s 15 public parks, provide upkeep for the council’s buildings, including the Town Hall and for various community initiatives.
