Councillor Nick Olivers abysmal record of having the Councils accounts ‘qualified’ every year for the last three years shows how wrong he can be in everything he does or announces with the word ‘qualified’ technical speak for ‘failed’ Cllr Dungworth was completely correct to express her concern at his latest dodgy statement.
As the portfolio holder for finance he has been exposed by his peers on a number of occasions regarding his inability to understand the process he is in charge of and the accused of bullying administration he is a member of has had four different section 151 officers (head of finance) employed since their progression into office in May 2017. This has allowed him to create within his own mind a number of ‘Black Holes’ in his accounts to cover up his inability to manage the role he has been entrusted with by the allegedly corrupt ousted Leader and the Tory Cabinet at County Hall, Morpeth.
This latest massive cut needed to be challenged with his Government pulling back on Austerity until after the end of covid and Brexit so how does he know how large the cut needs to be unless his errors are to blame for a £43M loss?
With national statistics recently releasing the average costs of employing a worker in the public sector being £31k and with Cllr Oliver ensuring his Council spent nothing on project delivery over the last three years other than those begun by Labour his calculation would have the Council lose 1387 jobs to cover his calculation, leaving the Council in the insidious position of not being able to deliver services.
Here at Murky our thanks go out to the Labour Party for exposing Cllr Oliver’s latest shameful tosh and ensuring the public don’t forget how his grip has stopped the delivery of essential projects that would be life changing for many.
