Lawrence Kenwrights Giant Ponzi Scheme Goes Bust.

Most people knew what he was up to.
None of Liverpools reputable estate agents, if there is such a thing, would touch him.
They all knew he was operating a giant Pyramid Scheme where one development was funding another.
 The council planning department bent over backwards to accommodate him.
 Nick Kavanagh who is being investigated for fraud in a public office rushed through the plans for his James Street hotel development.....................there should be an investigation into this.
Someone died because of inadequate handrailing not picked up by building regulations.
And he did his own asbestos survey.
http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2018/09/lawrence-kenwrights-carbuncle-shankly.html
After ruining several listed buildings as what he described as luxury(sic) hotels in the city. It now transpires his customers were eating mouse droppings for years and that he had stopped the reporting of this by applying for restrictions while the court case was ongoing.

We have worked with Private Eye for a while and it was they that exposed him as being banned for being a company director.

Now the dodgy developer is claiming that the council stitched him up.
Or maybe he had a falling out.
In today's Liverpool Echo, who may we say have acted as his own personal PR company for a while.
It was alledged that his wife was once employed by them.

https://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2014/03/joe-anderson-turns-us-into-scouse.html
 In 2014 he tried to buy St Luke Church. St Lukes is a memorial to The Blitz that Liverpool endured.
He wanted to turn it into a wedding venue. We alerted the local press and it was kyboshed.

We asked the Council Chief Executive Ged Fitzgerald, picked by Mayor Joe Anderson, about money laundering. https://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2017/06/ged-fitzgerald-answers-questions-about.html  Here is his reply. He was arrested shortly after.

So another "Chinatown" is taking place, where a load of investors will lose money and the name of Liverpool is tainted.

But in the meantime Kenwright has got his cash out and wait for it.........he will try to buy back the assets for half the price. This is Murkeyside after all.

Nick Kavanagh and Elliot Lawless Arrested on Bribery and Corruption Charges.

Both were released after questioning on conditional bail.

Police arrested Mr Lawless, aged 32, at his city centre flat. 

That he has spent one million pounds, yes a Million pounds restoring from its ex council office style 1960's building into his new swanky pad.

This pad overlooks Joe Anderson's offices at Cunard Buildings.

SHOULD THE POLICE CHECK ALL THE DELIVERY NOTES TO THE ADDRESS OF HIS APARTMENT and is THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT SOME OF THE MATERIALS MAY HAVE BEEN BOOKED ELSEWHERE??????? 

THEY, and the HMRC REALLY SHOULD CHECK AS HE HAS SOME PUBLIC FUNDED CONTRACTS. 

Why was he given the contract to restore publicly owned properties?

 Is there where the alleged misapropriation has taken place?

Mr Kavanagh, aged 50, was arrested in his office. He was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and misconduct in a public office.

Mr Lawless was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud, bribery and corruption.

Mr Kavanagh was appointed director for regeneration at the city council in 2011 and is in charge of the city’s major regeneration schemes.A Merseyside Police statement said: “A 32-year-old man from Liverpool city centre has been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud, bribery and corruption.

Police said “Whilst a 50-year-old man, employed by Liverpool City Council, has been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and misconduct in public office.”

Mr Lawless said: “This is a frustrating turn of events as we are extremely busy delivering major schemes across the north.

“I’m helping the police fully with their enquiries and am more than happy to do so. It is important that I clear my good name quickly and that we move on from this.

“The allegations are completely baseless but due process needs to be followed and whilst the police do their work I’ll not comment further on the issue.

“In the meantime, it’s business as usual. I have seven live schemes in Liverpool to deliver and am back at my desk doing just that.”

YES HE WOULD SAY THAT OR IS IT WORDS CONJURED UP BY HIS PR COMPANY. 

Which may or may not be run by Jon Egan and co who also PR personally for Joe Anderson and the council and several publicaly funded bodies.
Mr Lawless, a former plumber, who drives a Bentley is the founder of the Elliot Group which is working on major schemes in Liverpool and Salford.

Schemes include the £170m redevelopment of Heap’s Rice Mill, the £100m redevelopment of Wolstenholme Square, the £100m Aura student scheme and a scheme including 1,000 apartments on Leeds Street in Liverpool.
https://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2016/08/heaps-rice-mill-letter-to-joe-anderson.html
Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson said: “We will co-operate with the police unequivocally and will assist them in any way that we can."

Yes he would say that wouldn't he.

He was recently questioned by Police.

https://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2017/06/ged-fitzgerald-answers-questions-about.html

Why has frank McKenna from Downtown Liverpool in Business gone quiet these days?????

It was Kavanagh that Joe Anderson said brought to his attention the fact that Cunard Buildings were up for sale and they should move the whole council from, the quite newly build council offices on Victoria street and sell the block to Lawrence Kenwright. https://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.com/2018/09/lawrence-kenwrights-carbuncle-shankly.html

Maybe another investigation should take place. 

This corruption goes right to the top in our opinion.

Here is a couple more we did earlier

Liverpools Reputation Has Been Trashed says Oliver Wainwright of the Guardian.

And he is right
Read Oliver  Wainwrights article here https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2018/mar/13/buyer-funded-development-scandal
Joe Anderson was recently questioned by Police.....under caution.
This is how bad it has got here in Liverpool. We are a laughing stock.
And in China the word Liverpool is now a byword for corruption and deceit.
http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/is-liverpool-city-council-planning.html

Back'Anderson and his mates like Gary Millar have made a fool of us all. http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/councillor-gary-millar-set-to-make.html
Gary Millar helped his friends at Grosvenor once before switching political parties.

http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2009/08/one-park-west-balloons-arrive-for-group.html

And what about Ged Fitzgerald arrested as part of a corruption investigation. http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/ged-fitzgerald-answers-questions-about.html

 They have allowed the city council to become a cash cow for any dodgy developer that turns up at the council and.....make an offer to build something. Or not in the case of Chinatown.
That's bad enough but usually get some help with the Mayors Investment Fund. They even gave the developers of the Whitehouse pub 300 grand to take down a pretend Banksy that was then allegedly sold.
http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/liverpool-banksy-destroyed-you-dirty.html
Whats worse is that Richard Kemp and co at The Fib Dems helped vote him in as Mayor after the Tories offered a sweetener of development cash.

So Chinatown is not going to go away.
Y'know why because it stinks. Its filthy its got corruption written all over it.
This is being investigated at the highest level. And the Fat Man is still there. Why has he not resigned. Or been kicked out by Jeremy Corbyn who seems to know whats going on.

There come a time when a single person has to shoulder the blame for setting up the conditions within Liverpool City Council that allow dodgy deals to go unchallenged and everyone in Liverpool is talking about it.
There is no smoke without fire in Liverpool the street knows whats going on. 
Only because its all done behind closed doors in shady corridors its difficult to prove.




And if you have any pride in your city, weep.

Liverpool Council-Corrupt To The Core.

The Liverpool Echo is full of news today about Nigel Russel the fraudster convicted in America that was allowed to buy council property .......off the city council.
http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/property-developer-nigel-russell-charged-13427752

Heres one we did earlier.

http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/st-andrews-church-sold-to-convicted.html

He once worked for Tarik Bin Ladin the half brother of Osama Bin Ladin.
How disgraceful where were the checks on him. Why did Fat Joe Back'Anderson allow his council to deal with these people deemed not to be fit and proper. Was it Ged Fitzgerald's job to check.
 The Echo also ran an article about Ged Fitzgerald the chief executive of Liverpool City Council receiving complaints about him.
Here's one we did earlier.
http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/ged-fitzgerald-answers-questions-about.html

City leaders sold the Grade II listed St Andrew’s Church in Rodney Street for £1 to one of Mr Russell’s companies in 2010.

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/council-bombarded-complaints-man-branded-8350498

Mr Russell had been jailed in the USA for passport fraud, tax evasion and illegal possession of firearms in the mid 2000s, and after a spell working in Dubai, returned to Liverpool to set up his property empire.

Investors say that if the council had carried out a test to see whether Mr Russell was a “fit and proper person” to hold licences to operate houses of multiple occupancy (HMOs), then they and fellow investors from as far away as Canada, Brunei, Saudi Arabia and the Philippines may not have had to endure what they called years of hell.

Joe Anderson Refuses To Answer Questions On World Heritage.

At the Council meeting at the Town Hall 19th July Mr Back'Anderson blocked a motion  to debate World Heritage 'At Risk' status. This was put forward by the Lib Dems.
There was enough to debate such as the disgraceful set of affairs regarding Liverpool's dodgy chief executive, Ged Fitzgerald who is suspended on full pay. He was recently arrested....In Lancashire.
 It seems like he's getting away with it in Liverpool while most know he is at it.
Shouldn't an investigation be made into his Liverpool dealings BY LIVERPOOL POLICE.
They say a leopard does't change its spots, talking of which Fitzgerald's friend Frank McKenna a Lancashire Councillor now, needs a look into too, and how the relationship between the trio works with Mayor Back'Anderson fronting it.  http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/ged-fitzgerald-answers-questions-about.html
We get the Oldham Echo on the case no wonder they can get away with it.




The motion to debate World Heritage status has been referred to a committee which may be a secretive affair as how will the public know about it
So it was not debated at all very convenient for local developers or stakeholders as they are called.
And there was not even a mention of it in the Oldham Echo who seem to be backing the Mayor. Helping him get away with it.

YOU SEE BACK'ANDERSON IS FRONTING THIS OUT, AS SPIV, FOR PEEL HOLDINGS AND SEVERAL OTHER PROPERTY DEVELOPERS.
AND WHO IS CHECKING HIM.
SHOULD'T SOMEONE HAVE THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS LOOK INTO THE SITUATION WHERE DEVELOPERS SUCH AS ELIOT GET AWARDED COUNCIL CONTRACTS TO REFURBISH LISTED BUILDINGS WHILE BEING A TAX EXILE LIVING IN SPAIN FOR MOST OF THE YEAR.
AND WHERE BACK'ANDERSON IS ALLOWED TO SELL CHINATOWN...........TO THE LOWEST BIDDER.
COME BACK DEREK HATTON ALL IS FORGIVEN. OH HANG ON HE IS BACK.
IS HE IN BUSINESS WITH THE DODGY LEADER OR IS HE JUST ACTING CONSULTANT.

Ged Fitzgerald Answers Questions About Money Laundering In Liverpool.

Questions need to be asked, publicly, about the role that Liverpool City Council have in facilitating money laundering and dodgy cash from developers that have far too close a relationship with Liverpool City Council. Here is a FOI reply from Ged Fitzgerald who was arrested last week. Where he answers nothing because the City Solicitor has answered it for him.You would think that getting to the route of corruption would be the role of the local press but we get stuck with Alastair Machray and his sidekick and advertorial specialist Mark Thomas, so there is not much chance of that.

 http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2009/08/should-mark-thomas-be-relieved-of-his.html

 Look at the charade with Joe Anderson backing Peel Holdings whose cash, it was said, by the Liverpool Echo, for the non existant Liverpool Waters, was coming from a high ranking Chinese government official, Stella Shiu....that we exposed as a bankrupt in Hong Kong.   http://liverpoolpreservationtrust.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/david-bartlett-shoddy-journalist-why.html 

They even gave a column to Frank Mckenna of Downtown Liverpool In Business. 

That says it all really.

Rumours that planning permission can be bought are rife around Liverpool. This needs looking into....now.

There is even a guy driving around with a van emblazoned with words JOE MUST GO and CORRUPTION.
Some of the planning applications that have recently been passed surely warrant someone taking a back'ander because that is the only way they could be passed.

Lets hope that the spotlight on Ged Fitzgerald opens up a tranche of investigations into his conduct and affairs in Liverpool while Chief Executive of Liverpool Council and that Joe Back'anderson gets a little look into also. 

If you know anything why not drop us a line and we can pass it on to the police.

Ged Fitzgerald Arrested. Why Did Joe Anderson Pick Him?

Why was Ged Fitzgerald picked as Chief Executive of this great city?

Was he picked specially for his talents?

Does he have any talents? 

Does he have a talent for hiding the truth?

Is he mates with Frank McKenna? 





The phrase Hot Potato springs to mind. so who gave him the job? 

He was embroiled in the Rotherham Child Abuse scandal accused in fact of allegedly covering up the scandal.
