The large sums of money Liverpool City Council paid to lawyers and accountants in relation to the Bramley Moore project have been revealed.
The council spent £841,000 on professional fees after it agreed to help fund Everton FC's Bramley Moore stadium on the waterfront. Everton later sought alternative sources of funding and did not accept the proposed investment.
In May Everton agreed to pay £502,000 of the £841,000 incurred by Liverpool Council. In a joint statement, it was said an “amicable settlement” had been reached regarding the Bramley Moore project.
