Investigations around fraud and corruption have been launched at Liverpool Council following the publication of a report into a controversial matchday car parking company.
Last month, the local authority revealed what it held about activity surrounding the Beautiful Ideas company (BICo). In 2018, the city council launched an initial assessment into the company that ran car parks for supporters visiting Goodison Park and Anfield on match days, amid allegations of poor practice but the document was never released.
That decision was criticised by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) who said the council had incorrectly withheld the report. Following the release of internal audit documents, it has now been revealed that four probes have been raised by Mayor of Liverpool Joanne Anderson.
