Complaints against a total of five Liverpool councillors are being assessed following the publication of a report into a controversial matchday car parking company.
Last week, it was confirmed that an investigation had been raised into the conduct of individuals following the publication of a Liverpool Council internal audit report about the Beautiful Ideas company (BICo). It has now been revealed that probe has been extended to assess five members of the local authority.
City solicitor Dan Fenwick told a meeting of the standards and ethics committee on Wednesday night that the probe will now focus on whether the five members “breached the code of conduct or the Nolan principles” rather than alleged fraud or corruption. The change was made following a complaint raised by an unnamed member.
