SOMETHING STINKS - LAWYERS REPORT CONFIRMS MY SUSPICIONS


The Report I referred to last Sunday into the contractual elements of the Council's relationship with Undercliff contractors Highpoint Rendell has been leaked to IW Radio. It confirms my suspicions that 'no evidence of fraud or bad faith has been found against Isle of Wight Council officers involved with the High Point Rendell contract for Undercliff Drive'.

Given that the Tory, Liberal Democrat and Independent councilliors leading this so called enquiry are aware of the Report's contents, then why did they agree today to increase the lawyers budget to £700,000?

Something stinks about all of of this, and its not the suspended officers.

POSTSCRIPT - IW County Press also has a copy of the Report now. I have asked for a copy myself now, but no doubt this joke Council will continue to play games......

The last we heard from the Chief Exec (5 weeks ago) he was conducting a 'peer review' of another council. Perhaps that council could return the favour for us?
