Northumberland Conservatives accused of taking the County Council into special measures!

 

The photo of the Conservative puppet leader of Northumberland County Council with his candidate for the Seghill with Seaton Delaval byelection doesn’t quite tell the story set by the 'Other voice of the North' the Murky blogspot facebook page, which brought a scoop to the fore this week with a revelation that the County Council is in so much trouble that it may be put in special measures, this is what was reported:

 "The tragedy of Glen Sanderson ..Northumberland County Council Leader, Glen Sanderson, is destined to go to down in history as the Leader who brought NCC into special measures.

 As recently reported in the press, Local Government enforcer, Max Caller, is on the case.

 Glen is a long-standing JP (Justice of the Peace), respected Councillor and Local Government stalwart.

 Glen looks the part, sounds the part, has a glint in the eye and the ability to charm and bring people together.

 If the peak of his career and ideal age to enter parliament had not coincided with the Tories being on a downer in Northumberland he would, most probably, have

ended up an MP.

Murky understands that despite pleas from his own side and others, Glen has spectacularly failed to deal with the “Morpeth Mafia” and his shadowy deputy. 

As such, NCC is paralysed and the “Morpeth Mafia” are preparing to throw Glen under the bus.

A tragic situation indeed, both for Glen and residents of Northumberland."

Regular readers of this blog know the reports put out by our team has been openly critical of the current administration but the Murky Blogspot appears to be much closer to the Conservative centre than we are and an accusation of special measures show that the Council is in a much worse condition than we as observers thought.

The Seghill With Seaton Delaval byelection is being fought by the Tories with an ultra right wing former UKIP supporter vying for local fame against Labour's moderate candidate Christine Savage.

It's noted by us that the Cramlington Group of moderate Tories have not been turnin gout to door knock and that Glen appears in the photo issued by the ' Morpeth Mafia' group to be distant from his candidate or is he concerned that its better to lean towards the centre right at the moment before any interview by
his national party officers?
