There have been mixed reactions in the world of Liverpool politics over the dramatic resignation of city council chief executive Tony Reeves.
The news of Mr Reeves' immediate departure from his role was confirmed today by Mayor of Liverpool Joanne Anderson. Speculation had been mounting in recent days that the Welshman was set to leave Liverpool.
Seen by many as the man who was turning the council round after a series of scandals, others have suggested he is ultimately culpible for a range of contract errors that have come to light in recent weeks and could cost the cash-strapped local authority many millions of additional pounds.
