Cllr Jo Bird, co-leader of Wirral Green Group of councillors, said, “Green councillors welcome this Council budget for 4 reasons. Firstly, it means there are no closures of valued frontline services Secondly, the Real Living Wage uplift continues to be offered to providers of adult care Thirdly, compulsory job losses are not envisaged and fourthly, the additional £2 million of one-off funding means there could be new investment in our environment. New green jobs and services could be created by, for example, clearing fly-tipping from alleyways and installing renewable energy to reduce bills and carbon emissions.”
