Ensuring high-quality roads, safe footpaths, and reliable infrastructure is a top priority for our residents. This investment will allow us to make our streets safer, better maintained, and more connected, benefiting everyone who lives, works, and travels here."

The funding is expected to unlock further opportunities for the borough, supporting productivity and long-term regeneration across Knowsley.
