“Merseytravel have announced that they are consulting on making changes to the 3/3A service which currently serves the Torrington Drive Estate and Camberley Dr/Arncliffe Rd.

We’re pleased to share KMBC’s new Knowsley Local Offer to make more families aware of what support is available in the borough with SEND. Knowsley Council have worked with the students at Alt Bridge school who helped to design the leaflet.

What is the Local Offer?

Every Local Authority must publish, in one place, information about provision they expect to be available in their area for children and young people from 0-25 who have SEND (Special educational needs and disability).

Please could you share this with anyone who may find it helpful.

NALC Councillor Allowances Survey

The National Associations of Local Councils (NALC) are conducting a Councillor Allowances survey to gather further information on parish basic allowances and dependants’ carers’ allowances in local (parish and town) councils. Your participation will help the sector better understand the needs and challenges faced by local councils and work towards addressing them effectively.

The survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. Your responses are confidential and will only be used for the purposes stated in the survey. The survey closes on 10 June 2024.

If you are not aware, Councillors here at Halewood Town Council are not paid for their work and receive no other financial remuneration for completing their role. Reasonable out of pocket expenses for travel and subsistence may be reimbursed in respect of duties and meetings covered by the relevant regulations. This survey is not being run by Halewood Town Council but, if you have a few spare minutes, you could support NALC with their research.
