Liverpool Council has claimed property developer Elliot Lawless was invoiced for outstanding bills worth £245,000 over a city centre car park.
Mr Lawless acquired the lease to Beetham Plaza car park in July 2019 which set the rent at £94,000 per year. Last week the ECHO revealed that Beetham Car Plaza Limited, the company set up to manage the car park by Mr Lawless, did not pay any rent over a 30-month period.
Last week a spokesman for Mr Lawless told the ECHO that he had not been billed during the 30 month period but would pay now that he had been 'finally' been invoiced. However the council has now said Mr Lawless was invoiced - though his spokesman insists the company has no record of receiving an invoice before August this year.
