Liverpool Council has initiated “substantial” debt recovery from a car park firm in the city centre.
Amid the ongoing back and forth between the local authority and the Elliot Group regarding unpaid rent for two and a half years, it has been confirmed that the process to recover lost monies has begun in relation to Beetham Plaza car park. In response to a question submitted by Cllr Nick Small to the strategic development and housing committee, the council said in a written response that negotiations had begun between the two parties.
Earlier this month, it was revealed Liverpool Council claimed property developer Elliot Lawless was invoiced for outstanding bills worth £245,000 over the city centre car park. A spokesperson for Mr Lawless said he had not been billed during the 30 month period but would pay now that he had been 'finally' been invoiced.
