A primary school in need of "constant repairs" has missed out on cash from Sefton Council.
The planning committee voted to invest section 106 cash, provided by a developer, into the Sefton coastline. But one councillor believes the funds would have been better spent on improving Lydiate Primary School.
Cllr John Sayers for Park Ward said: "The council can spend the section 106 money where they like and they could have allocated money to Lydiate primary school to improve its facilities but instead they have awarded it to Green Sefton for the coastline.
