• Industrial action affecting Knowsley Council

Two national days of industrial action have been called for Wednesday 16th and Thursday 17th July by public service workers unions.

This will result in disruption to Knowsley Council services although we are keen to reassure residents that emergency and essential services will be maintained.

There will be no domestic or refuse collection on Wednesday and Thursday and Knowsley’s One Stop Shops will be closed as well as all council-run leisure centres and libraries. All council administration buildings will also be closed to the public.

Some of the borough’s schools will be closed and parents are advised to check with their child’s school for the latest position.

Emergency phones lines will be available on both days on 0151 489 6000 and, in order to keep disruption to a minimum, we would ask residents only to contact us in an emergency.

We would ask residents to look out for any elderly or vulnerable neighbours that may need help on this day.

Knowsley Council apologises for any inconvenience caused to our residents and customers.
