The Objective One Programme is a major catalyst in the resurgence of Merseyside - It is on course to help create more than 39,000 new jobs, assist 7,500 businesses to get off the ground and improve 415 hectares of neglected land.

We are proud of what has already been achieved through a dynamic partnership with the voluntary, public and private sectors and are confident that our investments will continue to deliver real benefits for the people of Merseyside long into the future.
