"<br />How does an Authority, who have sub contracted out work, have details of the entire workforce who are employed in providing the construction work and if they do have ALL the details, Why.?<br /><br />Also in passing it is strange to find that Carillion is shown as the Company running Buildings For The Future contracts within Tameside MBC and also Inspired Places Tameside, The Chief Executive Officer of Tameside MBC, Steven Pleasant MBE and the Senior Officer Robin Monk, Director of Place, are both shown as Directors of Inspired Places, Pleasant being a director of BSF. A Carillion Company.<br />Surely this must be a conflict of interest for both, as being the purse holders for such big contracts. <br />As the leader of Tameside's Conservatives Cllr John Bell recently stated, (Ashton Reporter 180118), there appears to be no accountability within Tameside Council,for the granting of contracts to Carillion, no openness or transparency. <br />These are questions that will probably never be answered, because no one will answer them, there is no accountability, openness or transparency.<br /><br />The Blueknight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
