The Liverpool City Councillor at the centre of a parking fine investigation exposed by the Liverpool ECHO has announced she will step down as an elected member of the council.
Cllr Ann O'Byrne, a former deputy mayor of the city, has announced that she will step down as a councillor, having first been elected in 2007.
Last week, Cllr O'Byrne was named as a central figure in the ECHO's 16-month Liverpool Council parking fine investigation. We found that between 2015 and 2020, Cllr O'Byrne had 17 parking fines rescinded by officers without going through the proper processes. Her total of 17 was significantly higher than and of the 14 elected members named in our report.
