South Wales Evening Post - 10 February 2006
Having contacted a number of councillors from different political parties, I found none of them was involved in or consulted about the separation package given to former council chief executive Tim Thorogood. Or so they claimed. I am assured by the leader of the council through the pages of the Post that a compromise package has been agreed, that it represents good value and that I should be delighted at the outcome.
Yet I am not provided with the information as to why a compromise was required or the costs of an alternative course of action. All I have are the assurances of an individual who seems to have been badly out of touch with a situation that clearly needed effective leadership.
Frankly, it is not good enough.
