Plans were sent to the council in relation to Earlestown Conservative Club, on Earle Street. The proposals, submitted by applicant, Tim Landa, include the creation of eight two-bedroom flats and eight one-bedroom flats across all floors. A design and access statement, drawn up by planning agents Tang and Associates, on behalf of the applicant said: "The existing building is currently vacant and has been vacant for some time, previously the existing building functioned as a public house. "In its current state, the building is damaged and the construction quality of the building has not stood the test of time. "The site being in such close proximity to the town centre, which hosts several high quality and local historic interest buildings, the site is not currently meeting its full potential".
ST HELENS Borough Council cabinet has approved plans to increase council tax by 4.99 per cent in 2021/22. Cabinet members voted unanimously to approve the plans during a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, February 24, which will see residents face a 4.99 per cent increase this year, with a rise of 3.99 per cent for each subsequent year. The proposed changes will mean an annual council tax bill of £1,578.78 will apply to Band D properties. In 2020/21, a Band D property cost £1,503.75 – meaning the increase will cost the average property £75.03. The cabinet also agreed there will be no change to the council tax reduction scheme until the next financial year, when the “full impact” of COVID-19 is known.
