A bankrupted Liverpool councillor is under pressure to resign.
Collette Goulding was declared bankrupt at the city’s County Court on May 13 according to the government’s Individual Insolvency Register.
The representative for the West Derby Muirhead ward also had links to troubled charity The Big Help Group, where she was a director until December last year.
Cllr Goulding held several roles in the company, which is now in administration, between 2023 and 2024 but only resigned from her final position last month.
Following revelations by investigative website The Post, Liverpool’s Liberal Democrats leader Carl Cashman has written to council leader Liam Robinson.
He wrote: “As you will know depending on the type of bankruptcy order, Cllr Goulding may well not have to resign.
“Even if we leave that issue for the time being I believe that the most recent revelations in The Post are reason enough for Cllr Goulding to resign.
“The issues that Liverpool has faced under Labour leadership has left the city’s reputation damaged. This further damages Labour and Liverpool’s reputation.
“Liam, I respect you. I respected your view on Mike Amesbury before the Runcorn by-election, calling his position untenable after what happened in Runcorn. I am asking you to do the same here.
“I honestly believe that if you don’t call for Cllr Goulding to resign, you will lose a massive amount of respect and credibility.”
