Councillor Janette Williamson, Cabinet Member for Finance and Resources, said:
“We are making major investments in Wirral this year – improving infrastructure, the public realm and the local environment which residents are rightly proud of.
This report demonstrates this investment, it provides a helpful summary of our progress, and makes it clear that we are using the resources available to us to their best effect to help improve services for local people”. |
