It's not the sort of thing that Brent Council issues self-congratulatory press releases about, so Council Taxpayers would probably not have heard about it otherwise. It would be interesting to know which highly paid Council Officer(s) is/are responsible for recommending the action which results in this massive debt.<br />This situation reminds me of a point I raised with several Councillors, and with the Project Manager, over the redevelopment of Willesden Green Library Centre, and on which I never received a straight answer. Brent borrowed around £5million in the 1980's to build the Library Centre, repayable over 60 years. They have let Galliford Try demolish the building less than 24 years after it opened. How much each year will Brent be paying on the loan for a non-existent building up until the 2040's, and how will this be shown in Brent's "accounts"?<br />Philip.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
