£80m Liars Widespread Bullying of officers resignations sought by Councillors

 

North East Politics has been rocked this week with a call on live TV from Northumberland Councillors demanding resignations from the current Tory administration following the release of a confidential report to the media regarding investigations that Council Officers including the Chief Executive of the County Council had been bullied and coerced into situations fabricated by the Tories.

Both an Independent Councillor and the Labour Party spoke about the dreadful situation and position the Council’s reputation has been placed in and that heads should roll.

The position the Council finds itself in through the action of releasing a confidential document believed to be by a member of the Administration is intolerable. It's been said on social media that only members of the Tory Group had access to the confidential report, making its release untenable and against local government law. 

We have read that the Council’s administration sought to have the council placed in ‘Special Measures’ by their own Government  in order to stop the public gaining access to the myriad of reports from a multi disciplined task force sent into the Council to investigate the lies and cover ups leading Tories have spewed out since 2015. Its well known that their success in 2017 was based on a lie regarding the cost of the Labour Party’s wish to move from the current County Hall, hidden from public view behind a housing estate on the outskirts of leafy and very wealthy Morpeth to a site five miles away central to the diminishing commercial activity in Ashington a town well set among the top ten most deprived areas in the UK. This was to stabilise and then improve the ability of a well occupied public building in bringing relief from endemic grinding poverty and only low paid employment opportunities to a halt, and change an area forever.

The same Tories who lies are being investigated currently ran out at every opportunity that the Ashington move would cost £80m when its development actually totted up to £38m over twenty five years but other available Council reports show that when the sale of the old county hall itself was resolved it was only costing the taxpayer £12M with Ashington gaining an improvement in trade of +£23M over a period of years and of course the move towards reopening the AB&T Line (northumberland line) being pushed by the regions mayor, first phase, terminates in Ashington Town Centre a hop skip and jump from the proposed new County Council offices.

We expect that the local Ashington based MP, Ian Lavery is working up the future plans for the Town with the current leadership of the County Labour Party as we know from social media that Labour’s candidates for the May 2021 local government elections are very keen to ensure that both Ashngton and Bedlington, two towns ignored by the Tories since 2017 are revitalised by Labour after the elections and both sit in his constituency.

Were led to believe that the biggest lies from the Tories are still to come out especially the problems that the Tory Councils trading company ADVANCE Northumberland finds itself in but we hope that the reports from investigators are open for public view and not required to be leaked so that the taxpayers of Northumberland can find out from investigators the extent of corruption purveyed in their name.
