Work will soon be underway to deal with vermin issues in a Merseyside borough as "rats rule the streets".
After people complained of vermin issues right across Knowsley, the council launched a series of 'Environmental Improvement Action Days'. This will see a number of council teams and partners come together to target environmental issues in wards across Knowsley, being held each month up to March next year.
The ECHO has reported on several issues involving vermin in the Knowsley area, with rats described as being "as big as cats" and parents scared to let their children play in their own gardens. One woman previously said it was " like living in the Victorian times " as large rats "rule the streets".
