After four years, Liverpool Council has revealed what it knew around the controversial Beautiful Ideas company (BICo).
The council has carried out a number of probes into the community interest company amid allegations of poor practice but the documents had never been released. The decision not to release the audit reports was criticised by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
A number of councillors and residents have campaigned for the findings to be released, culminating in the publishing of the document on the council’s website. Now the documents are in the open, what happens now?
