Sefton council has escalated a complaint over the deputy leader’s failure to declare company properties.
Cllr John Fairclough, who is deputy leader of the Sefton Labour Group and represents Linacre, was investigated by the council after a complaint made by campaigner John Rice.
Mr Rice, an independent candidate who stood against Cllr Fairclough in recent elections, had complained that the deputy leader failed to declare properties he owned through a company he runs with his son, Fairclough Properties Ltd.
