What can one say about the shambles at Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council that is not said already in the Audit Commission report. published today?
Compulsory reading if you want to learn how party politics at local level can damage the very communities councillors are supposed to serve. The report highlights also the tensions that existed between the elected mayor, cabinet and councillors. It is highly critical of members of the scrutiny committee seeking to act as an alternative executive.
Doncaster Council has 'form'. What is surprising is that it has taken so long to put in direct control by central government.
