The way people are allocated social housing in Knowsley is set to change after new proposals were approved.
The changes - which include reducing the number of needs bands, setting a cap on how much savings people can have before they are no longer eligible for social housing and more sanctions for people who refuse properties offered to them are part of new measures approved by Knowsley Council.
The proposals came about after a review was conducted into the social housing allocation policy adopted across Merseyside councils under the Property Pool Plus scheme last year.
