Bonding warehouse September 2012

The Council Leader is going to be asked some probing questions on Thursday about his project to set up a small business centre in the flood prone Bonding Warehouse. http://tinyurl.com/Bonding-warehouse-Oct-12

The Council Leader has already spent £25,000 from his “Delivery and Innovation” slush fund on the project despite the building being inaccessible for several days because of flood waters.

Hs own Labour group have ridiculed the scheme in a public “twitter” exchange.

Now Liberal Democrat Councillor Carol Runciman has tabled the following question for Thursday’s Council meeting

“Does the Council Leader agree with Councillor Semlyen, Chair of the Economic & City Development Overview and Scrutiny Committee, that the recent floods prove it would be wrong to invest £3.6 million of public money in the Bonding Warehouse?”
