Opposition councillors have called for further scrutiny of a much-anticipated report into a controversial matchday car parking company.
After four years, last week Liverpool Council revealed what it held about activity surrounding the Beautiful Ideas company (BiCo). In 2018, the local authority launched an initial assessment into the company that ran car parks for supporters visiting Goodison Park and Anfield on match days, amid allegations of poor practice but the document was never released. That decision was criticised by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) who said the council had incorrectly withheld the report.
Now, members of the Liverpool Community Independent group at Liverpool Council have written to Lord Mayor, Cllr Roy Gladden, requesting an extraordinary general meeting to discuss the three internal audit reports released by the local authority. The former Labour councillors have also called on independent running of an investigation mooted by Mayor Joanne Anderson.
