CHEQUES AND BALANCES
28 May 10 - IT'S A perennial bugbear that Southwark Council spends too much of its resources on expensive external consultants - so the announcement this week by the newly elected Labour Cabinet that it will change the way consultancy fees are signed off is to be welcomed...

06 Apr 10 - THE RULING by the Leasehoder Valuation Tribunal (LVT), stopping the council from pushing ahead with a major five year contract on nearly fifteen estates across the borough might be frustrating for town hall bosses - yet it is a massive victory for a group that are all too often treated like second class citizens. ..
