Lib Dems in Haringey, who just this week voted against a secret financial deal the Labour Council has made with outgoing Chief Executive David Warwick, have reacted with further dismay at news of another senior level departure. It has been announced that the Assistant Chief Executive in charge of Organisational Development is also departing the troubled authority.

Cllr Wayne Hoban, a Liberal Democrat councillor and Deputy Leader of the Opposition, comments:

“It appears that the Labour Executive is becoming increasingly difficult for senior officers to work with. This is detrimental to the efficient running of the council and proving to be highly expensive for Haringey’s taxpayers. Both these issues are deeply worrying and must be addressed immediately.”
