We need to be assured that there has been no wrongdoing. The fact that elected councillors are being refused permission to view documents could be an indication that people are trying to cover up for incompetence. However, it could also indicate that people are trying to cover up corruption. Nobody knows because our elected representative isn't being allowed to see the documents.

If councillors didn't know the money was there and available for good projects until the ferry debacle came along that would be vey worrying too for taxpayers (possibly as worrying as hardly any of them seemingly knowing the council was owed £3 million!). Was it being kept tucked away so that it could be magically produced for the ferry debt that hardly anyone seemed to know about? If there were plans for the money what is not going to happen as a result.<br /><br />The council press release released around 29 April 2013 on the crematorium said that the project was delivered under budget by £150,000, which will be re-invested to increase customer parking and other improvements to the crematorium facilities. Is this the money now going to the ferry? If so are the parking etc works now being shelved? Also if it's the same money surely there must have been strong thoughts by the end of April 2013 that it would be needed for the ferry and therefore why release the press release saying the money was going to be used for works?<br /><br />Also when did the benefits money get discovered and were councillors told it was available?<br /><br />The report on the ferry seems to give little information on the consequences of using the various bits of money cobbled together for the ferry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196642437552790719.post-56148615008175390992013-06-12T14:36:38.993+01:002013-06-12T14:36:38.993+01:00Call the Police in Ian.Call the Police in Ian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196642437552790719.post-30449833369829632252013-06-12T14:35:13.730+01:002013-06-12T14:35:13.730+01:00Apart from a 3 page statement which the Chief Exec...Apart from a 3 page statement which the Chief Exec was forced to provide to the District Auditor and which I published on here I have no documents at all.
