This
week in the press we have seen Councillor Nick Oliver of Corbridge, the Tory
Councillor who is in charge of the financial portfolio on behalf of the
disgraced Councillor Peter Jacksons 'Cabinet of Secrets' and dysfunctional Council has had complete
oversight of a staggering £880m of borrowing over the last three years and
hasn't yet come clean about the £350m Advance Northumberland debt currently
exposed to the whims of contractors writs.
In an
article by Hannah Graham on Chronicle Live Councillor Oliver Coun "I am not
a director or shareholder of this business so it would be inappropriate for me
to comment."
Councillor
Oliver in his spin is moderately correct but he is the husband of the sole
director and listed as the company
secretary and the person in significant control of this company at
Companies House.
He has
some complex history surrounding insolvency and has been involved with the
closure of some high profile companies in the same field as Katie Kerr in the
recent past such as Penny Plain a much discussed mess in the press. Does this
make him a write off regular?
In his
current position of influence within Northumberland County Council, he oversees
the write off of debt and or the choice of the Council to prosecute bad
debtors.
Were
sure at Murky that he will choose the former and oversee the write off of Katie
Kerr's debts to Northumberland County Council prior to election 2021 but
because of the timeline he will probably leave the clear up of the mess Advance
and the Council is in to the Labour Party. Time will obviously tell!
