Transparency in Government
Pushing for transparency in Nottingham
After weeks of heavy rain, the sun shone in Nottingham at the weekend where TPA activists were collecting more signatures for our petition calling on the city council to publish online spending above £500. Perhaps it was an omen, as the disinfectant of light certainly needs to shine through the corridors of power. Recently, Jeannie [...] Read the rest of this entry »

Join us in Nottingham this Saturday
Regular readers will know about the appalling record of Nottingham City Council regarding transparency. It is the only council in England not to publish spending above £500 online. It pays scant regard to Freedom of Information (FoI) legislation too. Last year, Anna Bailey told us how an amazing 40 per cent of FoI requests are [...] Read the rest of this entry »

Bexley’s democratic deficit
Last year, a petition with 2200 signatures was presented to Bexley Borough Council demanding salaries be capped at £100,000. Under council rules, any petition that attracts 2000 or more signatures automatically triggers a debate at a full council meeting. Although residents in all parts of the borough wanted this issue debating, the council refused quoting [...] Read the rest of this entry »
87% of Warwickshire councillors receive special allowances
Back in 2008 when the MPs expenses scandal was unravelling, we discovered that many MPs regarded their expenses as an additional source of income.

This was clearly illegal, as many former [...] Read the rest of this entry »

I won’t pick a winner as the non-job of the year – I’ll leave it to you, but there is no shortage of [...] Read the rest of this entry »
Non-job of the week
North Somerset Council is looking for a Waste Minimisation Officer. As far as I can see, the officer will spend a large amount of time either visiting or communicating with schools, community organisations, and other partners showing them how to minimise the amount of waste going into their standard refuse bins. This is despite the [...] Read the rest of this entry »
Who watches the watchmen? Government credit card agency in its own waste scandal
Who watches the watchmen? Taxpayers will be demanding answers after it was revealed that the very agency charged with delivering ‘significant sustainable cost reductions’ in public sector procurement has splurged £1.7million of taxpayers’ money in nightclubs, five star hotels and on trips to New York. The Government Procurement Service (GPS) manages a vast scheme of [...] Read the rest of this entry »
