Greenwich Council's Christmas Spending Spree

January 5, 2010 12:00 AM

Greenwich Council has been criticised for deciding to spend large sums of money at a meeting hastily convened between Christmas and the New Year. This included allocating £1.5 million to facilitate the move of Ravensbourne College from Chislehurst to North Greenwich.

Cllr Brian Woodcraft, Liberal Democrat Leader on Greenwich Council said "These spending decisions should have received more scrutiny. Councillors only received the papers on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day and any concerned members of the public may not have known about the meeting at all.

"This behaviour is a sign that the Labour party has controlled Greenwich Council for far too long and that as a result standards are slipping."
