Radar is to be installed along the Sefton coast as part of a £5m plan given approval by the council's cabinet this week.
The proposals involve installing sensor systems along the Sefton coast in order to help monitor issues such as coastal erosion and flood risk management.
A report presented to a meeting of Sefton’s cabinet on Thursday, February 2, sought permission to begin a procurement process to purchase and install the equipment in various locations, including Ainsdale, Blundellsands, Birkdale, Southport and Bootle.
