Conservatives Stop Parish Council spending £15,000 so they can waste £209,000 paying off someone they fell out with!

 

In recent days Northumberland Conservatives who control Northumberland County Council, have spun out a cover story and attacked a parish council, Blyth Town Council, for having the temerity to propose to buy new civic regalia for its deputy mayor.

The cover story from Northumberland Conservatives was backed up by their member of parliament for Blyth Valley the RH Ian Levy MP and a subsequent survey was issued by the regional top Tory Boy Richard Wearmouth the deputy leader of Northumberland County Council to capture the imagination of people suffering from the Conservatives mismanagement of the economy that the parish council proposed spend of between £10,000 and £15,000 was a waste of cash.

Within two days of the Conservatives ‘spin of the month’ media campaign against a minor authority, the mainstream press revealed what the attack on the lowest level of local government was all about?

Those same Conservatives have agreed to spend an amount 14 times greater than the parish council in order to rid themselves of a chief executive they had fallen out with. 

£209,000 of much needed public funds has been poured into the pockets of the County Council’s Chief Executive in a deal that stops Conservative Councillors having to appear in front of a number of lodged industrial tribunals and possibly for the first time in their whole lives have to tell the truth to the chairperson of the tribunal and admit what's been going on at County Hall for the last six years and how toxic the Council has become under Conservatives rule. Let's hope the deal also didn’t include the heaps of standards boards hearings against the same Conservatives where some of the unlawful acts Councillors have been accused of by the outgoing Chief Executive may be opened out into the public domain

We now also want to hear or read what the RH Ian Levy MP has to say to his constituents about this raid on hard pressed public funds and is Councillor Richard Wearmouth going to run a survey to see what the people of the County think about the Conservatives latest debacle which is totally against the public interests.
