How did Lambeth Council lose £3 million?
|
 Special council meeting called to find out how the council was defrauded by £3 million |
Lambeth Labour Group called a special Council meeting on Wednesday 23rd November to find out how the Liberal Democrat controlled Council allowed the housing department to be defrauded of £3 million.
Despite presiding over one of the biggest examples
of fraud in local Government history, nobody in the ruling Lib Dem party
has taken responsibility for the series of failures which allowed the
fraud to happen.
Lib Dem Housing boss Keith Fitchett is facing a vote which could force
his resignation. All eyes will be on the Liberals' Coalition partners,
the Conservatives, to see if they will let Councillor Fitchett off the
hook or force the Lib Dems to take responsibility.
It is crucial that the Lib Dem council is held to account and forced to put in place measures which prevent this from happening again. Do get in touch with us if you would like to attend.
