Questions remain over a claim a number of Liverpool Labour councillors used a 'back door route' to get parking fines rescinded by a council officer.
In January, the ECHO revealed several councillors from the city's ruling Labour group were understood to have had parking tickets cancelled by a former Cunard officer. The issue was brought to light by Lib Dem boss Richard Kemp, who said he became aware of the situation last year and put a complaint into the council's standards board.
Cllr Kemp believes in total there have been 18 parking tickets received by Labour councillors that were wrongly cancelled by an officer who is no longer employed at the council. The ECHO has been investigating the claims for months.
