The revelations of a "back door" route for Liverpool Councillors to have parking tickets cancelled has seen elected members and former officers blaming each other for the culture that existed.
Yesterday, the Liverpool ECHO published the results of a 16-month investigation into what leaders have called an "unacceptable" culture at the council where elected members had parking fines cancelled by officers without going through formal processes.
Our investigation revealed the names of 14 politicians who together had a total of 51 Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) for parking - rescinded by council officers over a five-year period between 2015 and 2020 without using formal processes.
