A well-known building contractor has launched legal proceedings against Liverpool Council following a dispute over a new homes scheme.
Flanagan Building and Maintenance Services Ltd were the lead contractor on the refurbishment of 25 terraced homes on Tunstall Street in south Liverpool. Earlier this year a cabinet report stated that Liverpool council spent around £5,084,000 on the project. The local authority now faces a financial loss after agreeing to sell the site to Pine Court homes for around £3.2m.
An audit committee report recently revealed that the council had decided not to pay money to the contractors following a number of defects on the scheme.
