What is it about our district and county that leads to so many omnishambles and U-turns recently? Policies announced, weaknesses pointed out, public outcry, backtrack. Are our local politicians and civil servants fit-for-purpose?
And perhaps we need some better overview and scrutiny, transparency and consultation in these organisations… not to mention accountability before disastrous decisions are made rather than after.
The article raises serious questions of the quality of corporate governance.
PS Spotlight – a senior officer was asked:
“Did you get it wrong?”
“No ….. yabba, yabba”
Er, so why the U-turn?
But it’s ok: they regret the anxiety they have caused.
So, that’s ok then.
Oh for the day when someone says: “We blew it, heads have rolled, so sorry”!
