The heads of two of the council's top regeneration projects have lost their posts.

They are the 3rd and 4th senior council officials to go in the last few months. First roads supremo Mike Freestone went after huge cost overruns at Aerodrome Road, then treasury manager Patrick Towey went for not following the Council's policy on investing in Iceland.
One can only assume these two weren't sacked for doing a marvellous job. We must assume even more bad news will come out. I just hope that the last one out of the door at Barnet Council remembers to turn off the lights.

This is all very curious. There was a time when a certain bunch of Councillors, who are now running the show, opposed quite a strong mood in the Conservative Group at the time to wave goodbye to Leo Boland.
They opposed this and protested that the Officers were excellent, but they just lacked the right leadership from the Leader and Cabinet.
What a legacy that after just a few years the fruits of their leadership is there for all to see on Aerodrome Road, Iceland and now on the flagship regeneration schemes.
When will anyone in this Cabinet take responsibility for anything? The whole purpose of the 2000 LGA was to increase accountability.
Not the greatest hurrah as Mike Freer limps through his last weeks as lame duck Leader.
Freer lame duck
now there's a fine anagram !
