27 May (Part 2) - Barnet, Bexley and a bin
Where Barnet goes Bexley follows has been
a recent theme
and this overflowing bin could have been photographed in either place except
that the picture was taken today and I have not been to Barnet for many years.
I
have no idea when this bin was last emptied, well over a month certainly and very likely more than three.
There was another email from Barnet yesterday, from someone claiming to have
been a close colleague of the former Head of Finance at Barnet Council while the
62 frauds took place and who now claims to be Bexley’s Finance Director’s Deputy. One Nickie Morris.
The former colleague makes the double edged comment that she has a reputation
for getting things moving, like people presumably. So many experienced staff
left that Barnet’s accounts could not be prepared in time and the audit was delayed.
Another touch of sarcasm being that good though Capita losing its contract was,
it was even better when Ms. Morris sought refuge in Bexley.
There have been tales of discontent coming from Bexley’s offices for several
months which could have been just a few employees with a particular axe to grind
but now that similar comes daily from Barnet it would seem safe to assume that
Bexley might now have the very same serious problem.
