A Merseyside town is "struggling" as residents say they have been "left behind" with overstretched services and no benefits.
Halewood residents have called on Knowsley Council for action, saying the money from new housing developments should be put back into the community. Section 106 payments are legal agreements that see builders and developers contribute cash to the local authority which is then used back in the local area.
Over 1,300 homes are being built in Halewood meaning around £13.4m will be brought in from section 106 contributions. But concerns have already been raised that services in the town are 'not up to scratch', with fears these will be "forgotten".
