Elected members in Sefton could have been "letting children down" as the borough's children's service failed to improve - according to one councillor.
The comments were made during a discussion of a report produced by government-appointed commissioner Paul Moffat after he carried out a review of Sefton Council's troubled children's service over the summer.
At a meeting of Sefton Council's overview and scrutiny committee last night, councillors met to discuss the report, the council's improvement plan and where things are now for the beleaguered service.
