Wirral Council has been criticised for “significant weaknesses” in how it manages risk to its finances.
This was revealed in an independent review of the local authority's finances from April 2021 to April 2022 by auditors Grant Thornton, though it said improvements have been made since then to address the issues.
The concern over the council's value for money comes as the borough plans to pass this year’s budget as well as make £35m in cuts over the next four years to balance the books and avoid declaring bankruptcy.
