Lynne's Parliament and Haringey diary

Reading through emails over weekend - catch up with what my colleagues are doing on Haringey Council and there is a huge financial scandal unfolding - one that Labour seem to have been trying to cover up.

Basically - the Audit Commission has produced a damning report on the mishandling by Haringey Labour Council of an IT project called 'Tech Refresh'. It was meant to have cost £9 million, but already is projected to cost around £20 million - an overspend of nearly £11 million

Local Council Tax payers are going to foot the bill for 'slippage and overruns' to the tune of 11% of the total amount charged by Haringey in Council Tax this year. And - Labour have been covering it up. Local residents will be apoplectic - as this sort of mess just totally confirms local residents' worst fears about how Labour use and abuse them! Roll on the local elections...
