Community volunteers, the founder of a suicide prevention charity, and a local fundraiser who has raised millions for good causes, are among the 11 recipients of this year’s Wirral Awards.
More than £7 million could be invested on improving Wirral’s roads, footways and bridges in 2025-26 under plans which will be discussed at the next meeting of the Environment, Climate Emergency and Transport Committee.
The £20m agreed by the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government for 2024-25 will also be supplemented by further financial support from the government of £7.5m in 2025-26.
Members of the Policy and Resources committee met to consider the budget proposals, which would set the budget for the coming year with total savings and efficiencies across the authority totalling £25.446m.
