Budget 2012/13
Once again, Knowsley Council is facing signifi cant funding cuts from the
government, which has left an £8.2 million gap in the 2012/13 budget.
A detailed savings package has had to be identifi ed to bridge this gap.
This follows the savings of
£23.6 million which the council had to
fi nd last year, and it is anticipated that
government funding will continue to
be cut until at least 2017.
In order to meet those targets, the council
has proposed a budget for 2012/13 which
will further reduce spending but also
protect those key services which are most
important to you.
The council has taken early decisions
through a planned approach which avoids
the need to make drastic cuts to frontline
services.
02 www.knowsley.gov.uk
As we did last year, the council is intending
to freeze council tax for residents in
order to help ease the fi nancial squeeze
being felt across Knowsley in the current
economic climate.
“
Setting the budget with the massive funding cuts we face, is an
incredibly diffi cult task.
Our priority is always to protect those key, frontline services that are so
important to those of you who live and work in Knowsley.
We have had to make some tough decisions and we will continue to
face signifi cant challenges in the coming years. However, we will
continue to put your needs fi rst and do everything we can to support
the people of Knowsley.
Having our voice heard
on welfare benefi t plans
The council’s budget for 2012/13 was due
to be agreed at a meeting of the council
on 7 March.
Cllr Norman Keats, Knowsley Council’s
Cabinet Member for Finance and IT,
said,
Knowsley Council has joined forces with its neighbouring
authorities in the Liverpool City Region to call on the government
to reconsider its proposals to change welfare benefi ts.
If the government’s current
proposals were adopted, many
people across the UK and right here
in Knowsley, would fi nd themselves
hundreds, or even thousands, of
pounds worse off each year.
The City Region authorities, supported
by Knowsley MP George Howarth,
have put forward a series of principles
and issues which are crucial for the
government to consider, in order to
make their welfare reforms fairer than
they are currently.
”

“
What’s hot
Still investing to
improve people’s lives
In the current fi nancial climate, our
eff orts to balance our challenging
budget for this year have focused
on you – the resident – and in
protecting frontline services and
support that we know you rely on.
Alongside this however, we have also
been working to identify key projects and
initiatives that could really improve the
opportunities, support and lives of people
across Knowsley.
Therefore, as part of our budget setting
process this year, we have also been
working to identify over £9 million of
additional funding to focus on some of
the things that we believe can make a real
diff erence to you, your family and your
community in the coming years.
We will be focusing on the following:
Bringing our centres
for learning up to the
national average, or
better, for GSCEs
Taking a lead role for
jobs, skills and tackling
poverty across the
City Region, to ensure
Knowsley residents
benefi t from future
investments and job
creation
Helping 10,000 of our
residents into long-term
jobs
Supporting community
owned businesses to
break into the local
economy
Making land available
and investing in the
development of
hundreds of good
quality and aff ordable
new homes in the
borough
Making sure that every
resident in Knowsley
has access to free debt/
money advice and
aff ordable credit
Sheena Ramsey, Chief Executive of
Knowsley Council, commented,
In tough fi nancial times
it can be almost impossible
to fi nd and allocate funds to
support anything other than
essential service delivery.
Here in Knowsley, however,
we are determined to go that
extra mile and, despite the
economic challenge, ensure
that we are doing all we can
to make targeted investments
that we hope will improve
people’s lives in this borough.
With continued cuts to our
external funding this is not an
easy process, but something
that we are
continuing to
strive hard to
achieve for
our residents.

Knowsley News
New theatre has the
’WOW’ factor
The performance space in the new Knowsley Leisure & Culture Park
has been pulling in crowds from across Knowsley and beyond.
The multi-million pound centre on
Longview Drive, Huyton, has facilities
for an 850-seat theatre with the latest
sound and lighting eff ects.
The leisure & culture park opened in
September and has played host to the
Royal Shakespeare Company and the
Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra,
as well as world champion Elvis tribute
act Lee ‘Memphis’ King, amongst others.
Local dance and theatre groups have
also starred. Halewood Youth Theatre’s
production of The Lion, the Witch and
the Wardrobe was a winner with families
in the lead up to Christmas.
The popular Knowsley Dance Showcase
attracted big crowds with performances
from local groups Heat, Wiked, Street
Feet, Kirkby Belles, Kirkby Brook Street
and Mafi a.
There is a licensed bar inside the centre
on the night of performances, and plenty
of parking right next to the building.
04 www.knowsley.gov.uk
“
With this investment, we now
have a fi rst-rate venue on our
doorstep.
said Cllr Eddie Connor, Knowsley
Council’s Cabinet Member for Leisure,
Community and Culture.
“
All too often in the past we’ve
had to travel some distance to
see shows and performances, but
that’s no longer the case.
In the coming months we’ll be
bringing more acts here and
encouraging local groups to
use the venue for their own
performances.
”
”
The acclaimed Protein dance group will
be performing ‘LOL’ on 31 March, and
there will be comedy line-ups, including
Laughter House Comedy on 28 April.
There will also be family shows featuring
children’s TV favourites.

Park renamed in honour
of fallen heroes
A Kirkby park is to be offi cially renamed later this month in honour
of a hero soldier from the town who was killed in Afghanistan.
When Irish Guard Lance Sergeant
Mark Burgan was tragically killed last
March, the Kirkby community came
out in force to pay their respects and
show their support.
Following the overwhelming response,
the council has been working with
Mark’s family to come up with a lasting
tribute to him and to other brave men
and women who have lost their lives
serving their country.
As a result, Wignall Park, Southdene, will
become known as Memorial Park after
a special ceremony being organised by
the park’s newly formed Friends group,
on Friday 23 March. The park will
become a focal point for remembering
Pay day loans
More and more people are turning
to ‘pay day loans’ for extra cash,
but it’s important to be sure you’re
making the right choice.
Pay day loans are off ered by lenders to
keep you going until your next pay day.
However, as with any loan, if you are
unable to make the repayments, you
can fi nd yourself in bigger fi nancial
trouble.
Shop around for the best deals and
remember that you can get free
fi nancial advice from agencies such as
Citizens Advice Knowsley on

and present.
Cllr Eddie Connor, Knowsley Council’s
Cabinet Member for Leisure,
Community and Culture, said,
“
This is a small way in which
we can thank people like Mark
and remember all those in the
armed forces, who sacrifi ce so
much for us every day.
”

ceremony, please ring Ian Grady on

Keeping energy costs down
As the warmer weather arrives and you are relying less
on your heating at home, you should start to see your
energy bills reduce.
However, that doesn’t mean you
should stop hunting for a better
deal from energy suppliers. You
could save money by:
• Switching to a monthly direct
debit, which could save you
between 5% and 10%
• Checking your meter reading
to make sure your bills are
accurate
• Asking your supplier about
having an internet tariff , which
could save you 10%
• Avoiding pre-payment meters

Changes to social

The way you must apply for social
housing is changing this summer.
We will now be operating a choice-based
lettings system called ‘Property Pool Plus’.
This scheme is run in partnership
with local Registered Providers of
Social Housing and our neighbouring
authorities in Liverpool, Halton, Sefton
and Wirral. It will provide a simpler, fairer
system for existing tenants and new
applicants.
And with the display gardens back
open after the winter months, there
has never been a better time to visit.
To receive a free entry pass, just show
a proof of address.
The centre is open daily from March
until the end of August, from 10am
to 5pm.
For more information, please visit
www.nwc.org.uk or ring 738 1913.
Rather than waiting for housing to be
allocated, the Property Pool Plus system
will allow you to actively search for and
bid on properties you are interested in.
This new system will give you greater
control over your social housing choices
and a better understanding of what is
available.

After years of planning and
working with both partners and the
community, the council’s multi-million
pound regeneration is now almost
complete.
Visitors to the area may be surprised to
see how eye-catching the new buildings
are and the range of facilities and services
that are available. There is a new primary

All that remains is for the fi nal landscaping
to be completed to put the fi nishing
touches to this regeneration scheme.
Cllr Dave Lonergan, Knowsley Council’s
Cabinet Member for Regeneration,
Economy and Skills, commented,
“ It is wonderful to see what
has been created here and how
the area has been transformed
in recent years. The regeneration
project is testament to the hard
work and commitment of all
involved - particularly the local
community who have supported
our eff orts throughout and
worked alongside us to achieve
this.

Leading the
way for our
young people
Plans are underway to
create one of the UK’s
fi rst Youth Innovation
Zones (YIZ) right here in
Knowsley.
We are one of only four areas in the
country to have been selected to
host one of these Youth Innovation
Zones - that will look at new ways
of delivering services for young
people.
The council’s vision for the YIZ puts
young people and those working
closely with them at the centre of the
decision making process.
The plans will be piloted in the
borough, and will move youth
services into our centres for learning -
making them a key part of secondary
education.
Personal packages of support will
be made available for young people
and the council will look to work
with community groups, as well
as voluntary and private sector
organisations, to support the delivery
of services. OurPlace, which is now
recognised as a national example of
youth involvement, is likely to play an
important role in this project.

‘step up’ for children’s rights
Two young people from Knowsley visited 10 Downing Street to
raise awareness of children’s rights on behalf of all young people.
Claire, 17, from Prescot, and
Christopher, also 17, from Kirkby,
delivered messages written on
footprints from children across the
country - telling the Prime Minister
why children’s rights are important
to them.
The trip marked the 20th anniversary of
the UK ratifying the UN Convention of
the Rights of the Child. Arranged by the
Children’s Rights Alliance for England
(CRAE) and UNICEF, the visit launched a
year of action on children’s rights.
Children play
a key role in
decision making
A recent assessment of the teams
who support children in care has
praised the work being carried out in
Knowsley.
The assessment, carried out by LILAC
(Leading Improvements for Looked After
Children), concluded that children and
young people in the borough are central
to the decisions made about their care
and are able to infl uence the work of the
teams who support them.
Carried out by assessors - who themselves
are young people who have personally
experienced many years of care - the
review included discussions with foster
carers and social care staff , as well as
children and young people themselves.
In addition to praising the work being
carried out in Knowsley, the assessors
also provided useful feedback and
recommendations to make the service
even better in the future.
Claire said,
“ Children’s rights are important;
without rights we are not equal.
”
Christopher added,
“ It’s a really important moment
for children and young people –
every child has a voice and should
be listened to.
”
A group of teachers from across
Europe have visited Springfi eld
School to discover how it delivers
outdoor education for pupils with
Special Educational Needs (SEN).
Springfi eld welcomed partners from
Estonia, Spain and Turkey, as part of the
Comenius School Project, which was
established to explore SEN outdoor
education.

Vintage vehicles
arrive in Kirkby
A new charity which collects and restores old
vehicles has set up their premises in Kirkby.
The North West Vehicle Restoration
Trust has the only collection of vintage
vehicles in the Liverpool area. It consists
mainly of buses dating as far back as the
1940s through to modern day.
The trust has a number of skilled members
who help to restore the vehicles to their
former glory, including mechanics, painters
and engineers. They teach and pass on
these valuable skills to younger members
of the trust, helping them expand and
maintain the collection for years to come.
Membership is only £15 per year, and
enables vintage enthusiasts to assist with
the restoration of the vehicles, as well as
having the opportunity to take some
of the vehicles to local transport shows
and events.

Keep up the good work!
Knowsley households are now
recycling one third (33%) of their
waste.
A big thank you to everyone whose
recycling eff orts have made this possible.
Whilst that’s a great achievement - and
almost a 5% overall improvement on
Bank Holiday recycling and
waste collection days
Visit the ‘household waste
collections’ page of the council’s
website for full details of the
changes to waste collection days
over the Bank Holiday periods.
Due to a reduction in Government funding, from 1 April 2012,
householders using the food waste recycling service will no longer receive
a free supply of compostable caddy liners from the council.
You can buy the liners at all leading supermarkets, or save money by lining your
caddy with newspaper before emptying it into the external food waste bin. For
more information, visit the council’s website or ‘Recycle forKnowsley’ on Facebook.
Food waste recycling update
We’re saying a big ‘thank you’
to everyone who recycles their
garden and food waste, by

compost on Sunday 13 May,
between 10am and 3pm at the
following venues:

Stretton Way, Huyton
Knowsley Council Depot
Arbour Lane, Kirkby
Halewood Environment Centre
Okell Drive, Halewood
The compost will be available on a

be limited to three bags per person,
while stocks last.
Limited supplies will also be
available at further giveaways at
Huyton, Kirkby and Prescot town
centres - during and after Compost
Awareness Week in May.
Residents will also have the
opportunity to purchase a home
