CARL SARGEANT AM SLAMS COUNCIL SPENDING REVELATION
Carl Sargeant, AM for Alyn and Deeside, has slammed plans by Flintshire County Council’s new Executive Councillors to spend over £100,000 on new offices, furniture, and IT equipment. This revelation brings the new Independent council’s lavish spending plans to £200,000 this week alone.
Mr Sargeant said: “Whilst people across Flintshire are feeling the pinch during the current tough economic conditions, Flintshire County Council Executive obviously aren’t. This spending is disgusting, and shows just how out of touch these councillors have become – the power has clearly gone to their heads.
“At a time when budgets are under real pressure, the Executive are planning on spending on lavish new accommodations for themselves. I am sure every local taxpayer can think of 100,000 better ways in which the council could spend their money, such as by increasing support for pensioners during the winter.
“This is the second revelation of wild spending in this week alone. I dread to think what other plans they have.”
