LIB DEM EXPRESS DEEP CONCERN OVER COUNCIL'S IT DEBACLE

Lib Dem councillors have expressed concern at figures produced by Haringey Council which show the refresh project of the Council’s desktop infrastructure is running late and massively over budget.

It has already exceeded the original budget by £10 million and implementation is now scheduled a year later than planned.

Cllr Hoban will be writing to Haringey Council to ask them to explain how this huge overspend was allowed to happen. He will also seek guarantees that this revised figure will be the final budget for the project and costs will not continue to be allowed to spiral.

Cllr Hoban comments:

“It is of great concern that Haringey Council has gone so hugely over-budget and over-deadline on this and other IT projects. The losers here are the local taxpayers who have to foot the bill for this failure.”
