Notice of Conclusion of Audit YE MAR 2019

The Town Council are once again happy to report that the external auditor has not identified any areas for concern as a result of the annual audit. You can see the Town Council’s annual return on the finance page of our website.

Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council will soon be commissioning a number of Gateway Art installations at key entry points to Prescot.

As part of a consultation process the appointed artist Martin Heron will be visiting Prescot to meet with local residents and stakeholders alike to gain insight into their narrative for Prescot so that this can influence his final designs.

Examples of Martins work can be seen here Martin Heron Works

You can arrange to meet with Martin on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week by contacting

KYN 2019

Know Your Numbers week takes place between 9 -15 September each year.    The national campaign developed by Blood Pressure UK and adapted for local use by the Cheshire and Merseyside Health and Care Partnership, encourages adults across the UK to know their blood pressure numbers and take the necessary action to reach and maintain a healthy blood pressure by simple lifestyle changes.

There are over 8,000 people in Knowsley with undiagnosed high blood pressure, which increases the risk of stroke, heart attack or heart failure.

We are working in partnership with Volair to host a number of blood pressure testing stations at all 5 leisure centres during the week. Residents can also have their blood pressure checked at their local pharmacy or GP practice.

Prescot Town Council have teamed up with Whiston Town Council to fund a shuttle bus to the Knowsley Flower Show
