THE CULTURE COMPANY WAS SET UP BY, IS OVERSEEN BY AND IS
A PART OF THE COUNCIL.
Warren Bradley, Colin Hilton and Mike Storey are just 3 of the senior council figures on the board of the company. Hilton admitted that he'd known about the problems for 'months'.

As usual when there is a monumental cock-up, it's a mad dash to get out the smoke and mirrors.
The same people who are pretending to ride to our rescue are the ones who dropped us in it in the first place.
Asking Hilton - or any senior Council Officer - to mount an 'independent investigation' of the fiasco is like getting Ronnie Biggs to look into the Great train robbery!
Though the main blame appears to lie with the Culture Company I was more than a bit surprised when Warren Bradley said he was unaware of the problem until so recently. Surely as leader of the council he should be on the ball with these things. Sure he's on holiday but (unless it's a REALLY long holiday
) things should have been in place beforehand.
