Liverpool fails in use of resources report

Liverpool Council alone in the UK to perform below minium requirents in financial management

Commission
has singled out
Liverpool
City Council
as the only council in the UK to performed below minimum
requirements in its financial management, giving it an overall score of one in
its ‘use of resources 2007’ report into local authority finances.

financial mismanagement by the Liberal Democrat administration. ‘Council tax
payers are going to end up paying for their incompetence,’ he said.
