This ongoing Police investigation won’t play well. There are now calls for the Government to put a supervisory body in charge of the council as they are missing key personnel due to investigations and sick leave. I hope we have a back up financing plan.........
“Calls have been made for the Tory Government to intervene in the running of Liverpool council following recent events.
Former council leader and Liberal Democrat Lord Mike Storey has written to the Department of Local Government claiming the situation inside the authority is at “such a low level” that the government needs to intervene.
He has asked for the same sort of supervisory committee that was brought in at Birmingham Council last year after its chief executive was sacked amid claims of chaos.”
Plan B, Everton?
