In response to a question from Cllr John Todd at last night’s Borough Council Meeting, Labour Council Leader, Cllr Jagdish Sharma, was forced to reveal that the council has paid out £248,544 to refurnish a small suite of toilets adjacent to the Council Chamber.
Cllr John Todd commented,
“This is an excessive sum of taxpayers’ money I am not convinced this is real value for money. It took five months to complete which was wholly excessive too.
“Given that the Council is actively considering moving out of the Civic Centre in a few years time this project should never been started. The funds could have been used for more important projects'
