All three Labour mayor candidates back Echo s Cash for Connectivity campaign
We re calling on our readers to support the campaign and help children get access to education
Updated
All three of the candidates vying to be Labour s new candidate for Mayor of Liverpool have backed the Liverpool ECHO s Cash for Connectivity campaign.
Thousands of children across the Liverpool City Region are being denied their basic right to education because they cannot access online learning at home during lockdown.
We have teamed up with other northern newspapers to launch the appeal after it was announced that children across the UK would be facing more weeks at home away from their schools, with lockdown measures expected to last until March 8.

Liverpool City Council has unveiled a plan to improve the historical retail heart of the Walton district in the north of the city and has secured £1m to start the project.
The money was awarded by the Liverpool City Region Town Centre Fund and will go towards the development of a 10-year masterplan for Walton’s County District.
The area encompasses the district centre of County and Walton Road, in the County and Kirkdale wards, close to the football stadiums of Anfield and Goodison Park – the latter of which is expected to undergo a mixed-use redevelopment once Everton Football Club relocates to a new stadium to be constructed at Bramley-Moore Dock.
