"Latest spend 400k to check what buildings we own. Honest!" "£20 million in S106 pot. Community groups and others cry out for funding." This is indeed quite disgraceful. And I have been begging the Council for three years to start spending some of the S106 money is was GIVEN already in 2010. It seems that 4 or 5 senior officers have to attend endless committe meetings to discuss a spend of a few £thousand. Having read John Todd's message I would suggest that this Council should have no problen in saving anoth £59 million over the next 5 years. I also question the over generous redundancy payments which were made to get rid of some of the dead wood. It was totally unnecessary and way over the top. |
