What news of the wifi inquiry report? When is this to be published ?
I imagine the four wise men have taken to their 'darkened room' to gogitate the things they have been told, peruse the papers they have been given (a sure way to dampen any enthusiasm for the fray) and digest the awful truth that dare not raise its name.
The council could have cut its losses and saved the taxpayer £250,000 plusThe deal was suspect from day one, the outcomes totally predicatable and the participants up to their eyeballs in attempting to defend their roles.
I suspect their will be some serious questions asked of people who were in positions to challenge the process and chose to sit on their hands and button their lips.
Will we ever discover how officers considered a short term term overdraft facilty to justify being identified as a 'loan' and offering that as proof that the business was worth
investing wasting another £250,000.
Surely, knowing the business was running on an overdraft facility in January, February and March of 2010 should have raised alarm bells in the officer corps. Their fear of the politicians seems to have turned their brains to 'mush' - they certainly lacked any moral fibre.
