A former Lord Mayor of Liverpool has hit out at fees being claimed by commissioners overseeing the city.
Cllr Anna Rothery said the thousands of pounds in expenses claimed by the Whitehall-appointed officials working at Liverpool Council was an “utter betrayal” of the trust placed to them by the city to “do the right thing.”
As detailed yesterday, the four commissioners appointed by the Government last June following the damning Caller Report claimed more than £6,500 for travel, hotels and meals in five months.
