Temperatures reached boiling point as members of Liverpool Council clashed over a car park company linked to city councillors.
An extraordinary meeting of the local authority was held this evening following the publication of a series of audit reports into the Beautiful Ideas Company (BICo) last month. It was confirmed earlier this week that three sitting city councillors investigated as part of a probe into the controversial matchday car parking company were told complaints against them had been dismissed.
Cllrs Nick Small, Steve Munby and Ann O'Byrne were three of five members facing complaints raised by Mayor Joanne Anderson in relation to their roles with BICo that ran car parks for Liverpool and Everton fans with the aim of raising funds for the local community. A fourth councillor has also been absolved while a fifth remains under investigation.
