A LABOUR Party dossier has been handed to Merseyside detectives claiming a veteran Liberal Democrat councillor used her influence to help block plans to redevelop the former Irish Centre, in Mount Pleasant.
The councillor, Flo Clucas, has also been reported to the Standards Board of England, the official standards watchdog for politicians.

Last night Cllr Clucas, the council’s executive member for economic and European affairs, strenuously denied the allegations, levelled by Labour leader Joe Anderson.
Two detectives from Merseyside CID arrived at the Municipal Building, in Dale Street, to interview Cllr Anderson and collect the dossier, which runs into several hundred pages.
Merseyside Police said: “We can confirm a complaint has been made alleging inappropriate procedures by a Liverpool City councillor. We are currently looking at the matter to see if any offences have been committed but it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.”
