Call-in on Thursday to hold Brent Council accountable for alleged errors in the Barham Park Trust accounts

The saga of the Barham Park Trust accounts continues on Thursday when the Public Realm and Resources Scrutiny Committee considers a call-in of the Council decision to approve the accounts because of alleged inaccuracies which could lead to reputational damage.

The call-in follows attempts by councillors to query and correct the accounts at meetings of the Trust Committee which is headed by Brent Council leader Muhammed Butt and composed solely of members of his Cabinet. LINK

 

The call-in has been made by opposition members.

If these accounts are not correct how do we know that the rest of the accounts for Brent Council are correct???
Who is scrutinising and auditing those???

Now I know why it has been renamed BENT COUNCIL.

I think the key phrase here is “alleged”. Nothing more than an ego driven councillor on a political crusade.

'The call-in has been made by opposition members.'

Call-ins can be requested by any five backbench councillors. It seems that all of the current backbench Labour councillors are afraid to use this important democratic power.

Who are they afraid of? I'm sure you can answer that!

The Labour Leader seema to have a personal vendetta against a LibDem who tries to hold him (and his accounts) to account.

If that is 'a political crusade', more councillors should join it!

What a cover up. You had to feel sorry for Lorber, he was blocked at every stage. And as for Towerblock Tatler, it was her normal patronising, sarcastic and playground tactics as usual. She should go back to school, or at least take a course in civility and honesty.

Until recently she was a secondary school History teacher - how is she qualified to do the job she's doing now?

The accounts weren’t wrong though. Just Lorber’s understanding of them is flawed. Besides, at least we all got to see him for the bully he is.

Are you qualified to understand the accounts?

Better to have councillors asking questions than all the Labour Councillors sitting back and saying nothing but still taking their allowances!
