Five key questions have been submitted to an influential Liverpool Council committee regarding the parking fines scandal at the local authority.
Last week the ECHO published the results of a 16-month investigation into a "back door" operation at the council that saw officers cancelling the parking fines of elected members without using the proper processes. We named 14 current and former Labour politicians in our investigation which the current chief executive said highlighted an "unacceptable culture" at the council.
Now an opposition group has submitted a number of key questions to the council's audit committee ahead of a meeting next month. Cllr Alan Gibbons is the deputy leader of the Liverpool Community Independents group who have suspended their own leader Cllr Anna Rothery after she was named in the investigation.
