The real reason why PFCC is in real mess is because Stone is inept at her job. She created additional costs where there was no needs for it before. Councillors should really investigate and compare the cost of her office to others PFCC. What relevance if any do Dr Cust and Pauline Woodhouse (Independent member) bring to that panel? A lot of discussion surrounding 106 funding. However, during the eight years of Mold's tenure he made the same approach and the answers given was the same as before, in that, the "Deprivation" factor did not apply to Nirthamptonshire. Pauline Woodhouse made a long speech about cost of leaving pressure on strugling family, than, when the voting for the precept increase came she "abstained"? What does it say for her? Who exactly does she represent? because those same family will suffer even more because of her action. There was three Councillors who we should respect because they doing they very best to find out why this has been allowed to happen. They have put relevant questions about the huge debt that are accumulating and no Insurance will cover it.

You know a good way to avoid legal costs is to admit your mistakes and compensate fairly. You don't defend what you can't win

What is Arnull hiding behind with his comment about, basically, nothing will be done for 11 months?

Not needing the DOGE. What's he afraid will be uncovered?

Well done to Cllrs Kellet and Whitrow for raising the issue of how much of the increase WE are all being asked to pay will all be swallowed up by the £1.9 million for assaulting a member of the public and how the insurance will not cover criminality of lying to a court. When you are deciding if you can afford to increase the heating by a few degrees, remember how your increased council tax is being spent by the Commissioner and Police.

Almost certain for every house that's built and sold X is supposed to go to the council. If I remember rightly Daventry was still owed it's s106 money for Lang farm housing estate when the county council went bust that would have been worth millions scrap the council you delete data and you got no contract so idiot in it deleted it in the merger
