£15.3 million Levelling Up Fund support for Knowsley (Levelling Up Fund 2)
Over £15.3 million from the Levelling Up Fund will improve access to leisure facilities and transport in Halewood.
Improved sports and leisure facilities
Levelling Up funding will help residents in Halewood to access high quality leisure facilities. The improvements include new and improved playing pitches at Wood Road Green Space and at the Halewood Leisure Centre, along with upgrades to its other facilities.
Supporting transport improvements in the area
New routes for cyclists and pedestrians will be created between the new housing development in East Halewood and the Wood Road Green Space to West Halewood. These will run via Finch Woods, the leisure centre and the district centre.
Funding will also go on new trees and street furniture.
Cllr Graham Morgan, Leader of Knowsley Council, said:
It is an exciting time for Halewood, with the £15.3m secured from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities to complement and enhance the significant package of investment already taking place in Halewood. Major investment has now been secured for Halewood and the injection of Levelling Up Funding will help to accelerate our plans and ensure our communities get the improved services and facilities they deserve.
