Liverpool City Council is rolling out a new strategy aimed at enhancing the relationship between councillors and property developers while simultaneously combating corruption. This initiative comes in response to growing scrutiny following Operation Aloft, an investigation into fraudulent activities linked to development contracts. The newly proposed guidelines are designed to ensure elected officials adhere to high standards of conduct and transparency when interacting with external partners, particularly developers.
The documents stipulate that councillors must follow the city council's anti-fraud and corruption strategy when dealing with developers, thereby fostering accountability. The framework aids councillors by clarifying expected behavior in their associations with contractors, developers, and investors. The ultimate goal is to provide rigorous guidelines to mitigate risks related to perceived endorsements and overly close connections that could compromise their duties in planning and regulatory functions.
