September 2nd Scrutiny Committee to consider call-in of £1.54m payment to Veolia for extra work


 From a Wembley Matters story six years ago - has there been improvement since?

 

Following the story on Wembley Matters LINK on the additions to the Veolia contracts, Cllr Paul Lorber commented;

 Labour Councillors who signed up to a very bad contract including their so called "intelligence led cleaning" idea now want to pay more money for some extra service - even before they checked if Veolia are already doing what they are being paid for.

Liberal Democrat Councillors have "called in" the decision, with the support of one Green Councillor, to Scrutiny Committee on 2 September - so the decision can be properly scrutinised to clarify what improvements to our dirty streets will be made and whether the £1.5 million extra is the best use of the money.

In our view the whole issue of street cleaning, recycling and dumping in Brent needs to be looked at - but the 'call-in' is restricted to looking at the areas of work included in the £1.54 million proposed.
