HENSHAW BLACKMAILS THE CITY OF LIVERPOOL

Henshaw blackmailed Liverpool city council into giving him a massive early retirement deal.
That's according to the city's deputy Lord Mayor, Lib Dem Councillor Paul Clark, a senior barrister.
His compelling inside account of the negotiations with Henshaw a year ago, reveals the incredible power struggle at the heart of the city council.
Councillor Clark describes a meeting with Henshaw in his office on April 23, 2005.
Clark says greedy Henshaw demanded a huge retirement deal from the city council worth £250,000 – or he would report council leader Mike Storey to the Standards Board.
According to Clark's account, Henshaw threatened: “I will proceed tomorrow to make the complaint to the Standards Board (if no agreement).”
The Henshaw deal included:

  • A press release falsely establishing that ‘peace has broken out’ between Henshaw and Councillor Storey
  • Storey personally calling the press
  • Extra pension years on Henshaw’s retirement - worth £250,000
  • A council committee ‘begging’ Henshaw to stay
  • Consultants to ‘review’ the pay of Halsall and McElhinney
  • Henshaw to be allowed to earn extra income during his six months notice, on top of his £190,000 a year chief exec’s salary
The secret deal with Clark, Storey's negotiator, was then broken by Henshaw just a month later. He carried out his threat and published Storey's confidential emails.

PS Sue if not true.

It used to be an Audi estate when he worked for the city council (he also got free parking). When he left with his pay-off he bought himself a huge new Range Rover. (I don't know if it was red or not)
