The suspended leader of a group of independent councillors in Liverpool has taken aim at her deputy leader, accusing him of a 'power grab.'
Princes Park councillor Anna Rothery was suspended by the Liverpool Community Independents group which she leads after she was named in the ECHO's parking tickets investigation in February.
Cllr Rothery was one of 14 current and former Labour elected members the ECHO named as having parking fines rescinded by officers in the period between 2015 and 2020. The former Lord Mayor previously apologised for an 'error of judgement' and said she was told that because she was on council business, her fine would be rescinded.
