One of the questions they asked was what do you think of the services delivered by Northumberland County Council?
The majority answer which came as no surprise to most observers as the Tory led Council have not delivered 'Best Value' on behalf of residents for the last six years, was that people who answered think the services delivered to them are 'poor'.
It isn't really a conundrum of why the Council has lost the trust of its residents, it's down to leadership and management. The Tories at County Hall have had two leaders in the last six years, Councillor Peter Jackson followed by current Leader Glen Sanderson both of whom were former leaders of the now defunct, formerly well failed, Castle Morpeth Borough Council.
The reality of being rated poor by the public couldn't come at a worse time for Northumberland County Council, they are about to receive a report from Government Commissioner, Mr Max Caller the official hitman who ruled on problems at both Liverpool and Northampton Councils who have been in high level trouble.
Much of NCC's trouble seems to lean towards the bullying of
Council officers and opposition Councillors much of it took place when
Councillor Jackson was in charge but our question to the current leadership is
why did you Councillor Sanderson not put a stop to the huge problems which
beset your administration and why did you not attempt to put things right?
