Thousands of people in Sefton could receive extra money to deal with the cost of living crisis under plans revealed today.
An extra £20 on top of the £150 rebate already paid out will be made available as part of a £700,000 discretionary cost of living fund Sefton Council will soon be distributing to residents across the borough.
The £150 rebate scheme is now drawing to a close, with Sefton Council saying that nearly 10,000 households in the borough who have yet to have applied or responded to council letters will receive a credit on their council tax bills instead.
