Town councillors reduced?<br />
The number of town councillors in Prescot and<br />
Whiston could be cut. A public consultation is<br />
set to start imminently over moves which would<br />
reduce the total numbers to 12 councillors in each<br />
authority. Currently, Prescot has 17 town councillors<br />
while Whiston has 14. The changes have been<br />
called for as part of Knowsley Council’s community<br />
governance review. Yvonne Ledgerton, assistant<br />
executive director at Knowsley Council, said in a<br />
report: “A second phase of public consultation will<br />
commence on <strong>February</strong> 2 via a formal notice in a<br />
newspaper circulating in the area.” Any changes<br />
would likely be implemented for the next set of<br />
elections in May 2019.<br />
