19 December (Part 2) - Money for nothing. Bexley Council must be in dire straits
Councillor Linda Bailey became
a little agitated on Tuesday evening about the amount of money that Council
consultants were running off with. £500 a day was mentioned and from other sources I have heard of even more.
What is the truth of the matter and how can you get the measure of it without knowing some names?
It might not be totally accurate but one way might be to see how much Bexley
Council is paying Reed Managed Serviced Limited, the employment agency.
It was £353,194·00 in September rising to £417,722·90 in October.
And the Council is worried about long serving employees raking in a tenth of that in overtime payments!
Just the tip of an iceberg?
