THE government has pledged an extra £180m over three years for new housing on Merseyside.
The aim is to end the north-south divide in help for first-time buyers to get on the property ladder, minister Yvette Cooper confirmed.
A further £40m will go to neighbouring constituencies, including Halton, Ellesmere Port and West Lancashire.
In total the north west will receive £801m out of the Treasury's £10.2bn allocation to build affordable housing, upgrade existing stock and encourage decent rental accommod-ation. more (http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-news/local-news/2007/10/17/180m-vow-to-build-first-timer-homes-100252-19962510/)
