A young female politician said she was left “quite worried” by the amount of information requests made about her after being elected last year.
Ellie Byrne became the youngest member of Liverpool Council when she was elected to take up the vacant seat in Everton last April. Her candidacy and subsequent election prompted attention given the position she sought to secure was previously held by her father and current West Derby Labour MP, Ian Byrne.
Cllr Byrne revealed at an extremely short-lived meeting of the city council’s constitutional and governance committee yesterday that a number of Freedom of Information (FOI) requests had been made about her following her victory last Spring.
