INDEPENDENT REPORT CONFIRMS THAT SOUTHAMPTON CITY COUNCIL HAS BEEN RUN WRONGLY FOR YEARS

Labour or Tory, Same Old Story

We said Labour or Tory, same old story. And residents agreed. They still agree.

 

Now, this independent report from a council watchdog confirms it. The report was commissioned by the Council itself.

It is damning of how the Council has been run by Labour and Tory councillors.

Co-founder of Southampton Independents and former Independent Councillor Andrew Pope says:

"While Labour and Tory councillors bicker with each other, and incredibly with officers it seems, residents continue to suffer.
Meanwhile, the CEO Mike Harris rose through the ranks, having been involved in scandal after scandal that did down our City and its people, including:
- Kentish Road respite centre
- Oaklands swimming pool
- and the doomed Arts Complex over which I received nothing but excuses from Mr Harris when I asked questions of him and the previous Chief Financial Officer Mel Creighton.
Do residents really want this sort of stuff to continue? Then you need to act with other residents. Get in touch and we will help you."
