A series of huge mistakes at Liverpool Council could add £1 million to the energy bills of the local fire service and could lead to service cuts.
A city councillor has warned of the potential impact on Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service after the catalogue of errors made at the council over a new electricity contract. The failures and miscommunications saw the council placed onto a higher tariff that will add millions to their own bill and to the bills of city schools and the fire service, who are involved in the same deal.
A number of city schools have already spoken of the impact any extra costs could have on them. Cllr Andrew Makinson, a Liberal Democrat councillor who sits on the fire authority has now said the fire service could be hit hard as well.
