Michael Gove has been slated for avoiding questions from the ECHO during his visit to Merseyside.
Earlier today, Mr Gove, the Secretary of State For Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, went to Birkenhead to look at the beginning of a massive plan set to overhaul the town centre, which will eventually see more than a thousand homes, new food and drink outlets and a new market built, as well as two top quality office buildings.
Last week, Mr Gove unveiled the government's plans for levelling up the country, which included “improving well-being in every area” of the UK, a devolution deal for every part of England that wants one, and bringing public transport connectivity across the country “significantly closer to the standards of London”.
