Blackburne House’s former chief executive says she ‘could have wept’ over soil pipes and uneven floor
For almost 40 years, Blackburne House has given a lifeline to thousands of Liverpool’s most vulnerable women. But its former chief executive has described how the charity fell victim to a “catastrophic” property deal that is embroiled in corruption allegations engulfing Liverpool city council.
Claire Dove, who has been awarded a CBE, MBE, OBE and Queen’s lifetime achievement award for her work, had proposed to build an education centre but it went “very wrong” when the council brought in a developer to build the facility along with 132 apartments.
