The Liverpool Echo has published a list of nine projects which it says will “help power our region out of the coronavirus crisis”.
As the article states, “The Liverpool City Region, like so many places around the country, has been hit badly by the coronavirus crisis. The impact on the people of the city has been huge – but for region’s like ours this is a major economic issue as well as a health one.”
