The ECHO has today revealed the names of 14 current and former elected Liverpool politicians accused of using a "back door" route to get parking tickets thrown out by Liverpool City Council.
For 16 months this newspaper has been investigating claims that for a period of years, some elected members were able to get out of paying parking fines because officers would rescind their tickets without using a proper appeals process.
That investigation has now revealed the names of the 14 politicians who had a total of 51 Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) for parking rescinded by council officers over a five year period between 2015 and 2020.
