Another Council BRIBE?
An extract according to Councillor Phil Taylor http://philtaylor.org.uk/“The budget spend for the annual road resurfacing programme will be £3.5 million (half of last year’s budget). Last year the eight wards held by the opposition only got 13% of the budget. This year their share collapsed further to 7%. The Labour councillor in charge of this budget, Cllr Bassam Mahfouz , has awarded 27% of the entire Borough budget, i.e. some £938K to Northolt West End Ward. It looks like Labour is seriously favouring its own areas with this budget”.Well, we all know there is no love lost.However without an explanation from C Bassam Mahfouz are we looking at history repeating itself? He is the Councillor for Northolt West End Ward. Also he is a Cabinet Member of the Council. Does he therefore wield undue influence?The Tories proffered a bribe by giving us a cash back before the last election - supported by the Labour party. They have not been allowed to forget about it.Is the Council through Councillor Mahfouz’s portfolio proffering a new bribe? If so, he and the Council will not be allowed to forget it.IMO without an explanation, it stinks. What do you think?
