A Wirral councillor has apologised for comments about council staff that were branded “absolutely appalling”.
Councillor Andrew Gardner, who represents Hoylake and Meols for the Conservatives made the comments during a tense Wirral Council budget meeting.
He said: “This council exists for its own self perpetuation. £127m spent on itself. That’s where the money is, that’s where the waste is. That’s where it needs to be looked at as to what we get for those 3,300 staff we employ doing what?"
