Businessman who gave land to match day parking company tells of 'wall of silence'

A businessman who loaned land to a match day parking company has complained of a lack of transparency over how the money raised was distributed.

Last month Liverpool Council published a number of audit reports into the Beautiful Ideas Company (BICo.) BICO, set up as a community interest company, was launched in 2014 to manage matchday car parks in north Liverpool used by Liverpool and Everton fans.

The money raised from the car parks was earmarked to help communities across north Liverpool. Paul Lloyd, managing director of Fast Growth Homes, has said that his company granted land on Whittle Street in Kirkdale to BICo in 2017. The land was then used to provide match day parking facilities for Everton and Liverpool fans during 2017 and 2018.
