Financial incompetence over funding for the Chadderton Wellbeing Centre has cost Oldham taxpayers £7 million.
Members of the Lie-bour 2007-08 cabinet are to face a grilling by Oldham Council’s audit committee over this and other blunders that have seen yearly running costs for the £17 million centre costing eight times more than was first forecast. The committee has asked members to explain their decisions before it next meets on September 15.
But council leader Jim McMahon has hit out at Lib-Dem sniping over the affair saying “This is a sign of desperation.
NO! Jimmy Pudden face it's us the poor fucking tax-payers who are desperate!! Day after day, week after week, month after month we are shat on from ever greater heights by the cocksuckers in the Tower! None of you could even run a twatting tap without fucking something up.
The moon faced loon says, “The Liberal Democrats had three years to sort it and did nothing." What the fuck could they do? YOU cost US an extra £7Million because you fucked up the capital funding.
You perceived annual running costs for the state-of-the-art centre in Wellington Street to be budgeted at £100,000 — but it was discovered that £811,000 a year was actually needed. That's eight times what was budgeted for, EIGHT TIMES, you fucking innumerate wanker.
If total build costs were £7Million over budget and running costs are eight times the projected figure how come the accounts balanced? Creative accounting?? Where did the extra come from? I thought we were skint! Where is the extra three-quarters of a Mil a year for running expenses coming from? We are supposedly looking for millions in cuts?
A report on the matter has now gone before the committee and this states that the council had not got “best value” and described lease costs as ‘excessive’.
Financial and management controls on the project were described as either “inadequate” or “weak”, and there was a lack of open scrutiny. Cabinet members had an uncritical attitude and floundered about with inadequate information available to them.
Liberal Dems were devastating the town when the centre opened in November, 2009, but the finances were calculated in April, 2007 and approved the following year, when Lie-bour waved everything through on the nod..
Lib-Dems say Lie-bour councillors McMahon, Hibbert, Stretton, Phil Harrison and McDonald — all back in the present cabinet — were party to the decision, which was taken in private three days before the 2008 local elections. Do you think that famous five understand anything about what happened? Of course not. they were all toeing the party line and were just obeying orders. Just look at the brain-power on display there and you will not be surprised at whatever they got up to.
Lib-Dem Councillor Thompson said: “Chadderton Wellbeing Centre is an excellent facility but the costs are staggering, “It could have been built and run for very much less." So if you had known the true cost would you have continued the project?
The Labour twats chose the most expensive option in order to be able to sign the contracts by April 30, 2008 and score points over the opposition.
Cllr Jimmy Pudden Face said, "It wasn't me mister, it was some other big boys what done it."
He said: “I’ll turn up if only to find out what is in the review myself.” We can tell you that Moon-face, £7Million more than the estimate, plus eight times the projected running costs per year.
An honest mistake he will probably claim. I say we should claim the overspend back off the knobheads who voted it through without due dilligence. It's our money! let's ask for it back!!
