A total of 18 current elected councillors in Liverpool are set to quit the local authority.
A dramatic night at Liverpool Town Hall heard that a large number of elected members will be stepping down ahead of the local elections in May. Some of them are leaving by choice - others are not.
Prior to the meeting former Deputy Mayor Ann O'Byrne had already announced that she would be quitting the council. Cllr O'Byrne was named as a central figure in the ECHO's 16-month parking fines investigation and found to have had 17 parking tickets rescinded by officers between 2015 and 2020.
