Is there a secret budget the Council aren't telling the public about?
Councillor questions Conservative Council’s agenda.
“Is the Conservative group who run Milton Keynes Council being totally honest with taxpayers?” Asks Cllr Andy Maric, the Liberal Democrat finance spokesperson who represents Newport Pagnell South.
It’s after Lib Dem Councillors realised part of the consultation documents on the Councils website have been missing for months and had been separated from the original Cabinet report.
Annex E, which contains all price increases both above and below the standard 4% is absent from the consultation documents and web page.
Cllr Maric said, “Obviously the document will likely exist elsewhere in the depths of the Councils website, but I fear this has been a deliberate attempt to try and hide information from members of the public, how can people possibly provide feedback on public money and budgets if its made nearly impossible for them to access the information?
The Conservatives need to publicly apologise for this as they have wasted months of already passed consultation time, reveal anything else that’s hidden by coming clean and re-assure us and members of the public that they are not hiding anything else and stake their job that their budget is and will be 100% transparent”.
