Sefton’s main opposition party has called on the council’s deputy leader to make a statement following revelations he had failed to declare properties owned by a company he runs with his son.
Deputy Lib Dem leader Cllr Gareth Llloyd-Johnson said it was “important for the good reputation of the council that the air is cleared” ahead of the council’s annual general meeting on Thursday, where Cllr John Fairclough is expected to be reappointed as the deputy leader.
The ECHO reported last week that Cllr Fairclough had been investigated by Sefton Council for failing to declare the properties owned by Fairclough Properties Ltd, of which he is sole shareholder. The investigation resulted in no further action being taken after the register was updated.
