A senior Liverpool councillor named in the ECHO's parking ticket investigation has confirmed he will leave the council with a swipe at the Labour Party.
Former Labour cabinet member Barry Kushner was named as having the second highest number of rescinded parking tickets in our investigation, which revealed a 'back door' route for councillors to have fines cancelled by officers.
Following the revelations, Labour told Cllr Kushner, currently the chair of the authority's finance committee, that he would not be allowed to stand again for the party when his current term ends in May. It is understood that Cllr Kushner then appealed this decision.
