Calls have been made for a Liverpool Council cabinet member linked to a stalled property scheme to resign.
It was reported by the ECHO yesterday that Cllr Abdul Qadir was a member of a Liverpool Council taskforce set up to investigate buyer-funded property schemes in the city, known as fractional sales. Fractional schemes, where buyers put down large deposits to finance off-plan apartment schemes, attracted huge controversy following the collapse of high profile projects.
Cllr Qadir’s links to a large stalled scheme on Vauxhall Road in Vauxhall through his role with the Liverpool-based Vega Group, which owns MV Canal, the subsidiary company behind the scheme, have now been uncovered. As a result, Cllr Steve Radford, leader of the Liberal Party group, has called upon Mayor of Liverpool Joanne Anderson to remove Cllr Qadir from his post.
