A Merseyside Council has submitted bids for the Government’s Round 2 Levelling Up Fund in the hopes of further improvement in three main areas.
Bids have been submitted by Knowsley Council for regeneration plans in Huyton, strengthening Prescot's heritage and expanding Halewood's retail and leisure offer.
Previous funding bids to transform Huyton were unsuccessful, despite the bid being "strong". With Knowsley classed as a Priority 1 area, meaning it has the greatest need, the council has since confirmed it has strengthened its funding bid and has submitted a Round 2 bid for £43m of investment in the borough.
