Oh Shit! Colin 'Cover Up' Hilton has spent £17,000 of taxpayers money on a new roof for his car!
This is at the same time that the city council is planning to stop free school buses for 4,500 of the city's kids.
Hilton ordered the cover up to protect his gleaming paint work from the bird shit dropped by the city's seagulls and pigeons.
He agreed that the money should be spent on putting a roof over the free car park spaces that he and the smiling assassin Halsall, who drives a new Porsche, occupy at the rear of the Municipal Buildings in Victoria Street.
The scandal has been highlighted by the Liverpool Daily Post (was the Echo fast asleep again, or just being consistently craven? ed) in a fantastic story today.
Amazingly Council Leader Warren Bradley has defended the use of taxpayers money on featherbedding (ouch, ed) well paid officials like this, accusing critics like Labour's Joe Anderson of being 'mischievous.'
(Here is another lengthy editorial aside: A word of advice Warren. Being Leader of the Council does not mean that you have to justify everything the city council does, nor defend the indefensible as in this case, whatever Hilton tells you. You keep on doing this as though you are performing some kind of public duty - whether it is over the shambles that is Culture, the whitewash over The 08 Place or The Summer Pops. You do not have to keep doing this. It is stupid. Your job is to protect and defend the public interest - that is not the same thing as the council's interests. Please grow up, act like a mature politician, be your own man and use a bit of common sense and judgement, or we will not be so kind to you in the future, ed)
The roof has been built for the cars of highly paid senior executives such as Hilton and Halsall who already enjoy FREE car parking at the rear of the Municipal Buildings - unlike all other council employees.
It seems they can't afford to pay for their own cars to be cleaned so they wanted a roof building instead.
Apparently the fingers of McElhinney can be found all over the roof plan for the pooh park at the MO.
And of course, Halsall would have had to sign off the expenditure as city treasurer.
As Councillor Anderson remarked: "It's like something from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".
In the meantime these luxury loving motorists want to axe free school buses for 4,500 Liverpool children because it costs too much.
See how the evl cabal still survives, folks?
Disgraceful. Write to your local councillor and get the canopy torn down.

I think your council is a basket case.
i know that this has been said a few time before on this blog, but this is literally unbelievable. Are they taking the piss?
No they are trying to keep it off
I never thought id hear something i agreed with being said by a manc! but youve got it buddy!
I don't know why you bother to give Bradley advice - espeically when it is so sound and commonsense. He has never done anything for you and left you completely in the lurch when you needed his help. Typical Lib Dem - cares about nothing but himself. He won't even be reading the blog - he has instructed all his members to ignore it and won't have it mentioned anywhere. Probably just makes him feel even more guiolty. If I were you I would give him and Storey both barrells on a regular basis for what they allowed to happen to you. and very good luck - you deserve better than these selfish bastards. They don't deserve your loyalty.
kids need the exercise anyway lol
What your story failed to highlight is that Council tax payers of Liverpool have also been ripped off by the use of council emplyees to clean the shite off the posh cars!
Also the delivery vans are not protected as the silly Lib dem so called leader states, McElhinney is forever trying to get rid of the drivers in that area, it just does not look right having to mix with the common shit cleaners and drivers.
This is a really "shit" story
