The corruption saga goes on and on in Liverpool. The Liverpool Daily Post and Echo owned by newspaper giants Trinity Publications has just been taken to the high court by the world famous nightclub Cream to stop the Echo from publishing revelations about the club. It’s interesting to note that the Cream nightspot is within the “Rope Walks” regeneration area.

Other concerned people from the organisation known as “People not Profit” (PnP)
 http://www.peoplenotprofit.co.uk/ and myself have, on several occasions, tried to get information about what the Liverpool City Council led Rope Walks agency have been up to, we have even had meetings with the council’s own internal and external auditors, who point blankly refused to give us information about Rope Walk’s internal audits. We were told, in no uncertain terms, that even though the money that was being given in grants to property developers and suchlike was public and European Objective One funding, information on how this money was really being spent was not available to the general public, so much for freedom of information. This behaviour by the Liverpool City Council’s auditors surely proves that the council are up to no good.

Is the Cream saga really the tip of an iceberg? Why is the issue of regeneration corruption, incompetence and maladministration connected with the Liverpool City Council not seeing the light of day in the national media? Why is this issue not being allowed to even exist within the national forum?
