Liverpool primary school warns of job losses after council energy scandal

A Liverpool primary school has warned that there could be job losses throughout the city after the city council's disastrous handling of a major electricity contract.

The chair of governors at Northcote Primary school in Walton has written to Mayor of Liverpool Joanne Anderson to register his 'grave concerns' about the impact the energy contract scandal is having on his and other city schools. He said the current impact on the north Liverpool school is unsustainable.

In May it was revealed that a series of calamitous errors at the city council had led to huge additional costs in terms of the local authority's energy bills as well as the bills of city schools and the local fire service who were part of the same deal.
