Crossfield ditched on £3.1m Crosby leisure development 

The Green Belt logistics scheme in St Helens was dismissed by the secretary of state over concerns about how it would impact the landscape.

An external assurance review of the governance and financial situation of the council called for the sale of Wallasey and Birkenhead town halls, as well as offices off Pilgrim Street.

Liverpool, Manchester, Bolton, Barrow-in-Furness and Wirral were some of the areas to receive government money in the latest announcement.

The start of the third development within Sandway Homes’ first wave of projects has been put back to March 2023, although it remains confident of securing £30m with the sale of 141 homes.  

The council wants to turn the historic Southport town centre building into a 15,000 sq ft start-up hub known as the Enterprise Arcade.

Divvied up between a £15m grant and £30m loan, the funds will support the creation of the new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock and improvements to the surrounding area.

Funds will be divided up between ten projects, including a transport-based heritage attraction, public realm improvements to Hamilton Square and a wellbeing hub.

Two revolving property funds, the Chrysalis Fund and the LCR Urban Development Fund, have re-entered the arena to back development proposals.

The combined authority aims to fund 120,000 sq ft of office space; 260,000 sq ft of commercial space and 70,000 sq ft of research and development space by 2024.
