Sandwell Council

in #sandwell7 years ago

Sandwell council has become a den of “incompetence, corruption and cronyism”, the House of Commons has been told.

And the Black Country authority, which serves Oldbury, Rowley Regis, Smethwick, Tipton, Wednesbury, and West Bromwich, has become “a stain on the reputation of the area”, according to an MP.

Halesowen and Rowley Regis MP James Morris demanded the resignation of council leader Steve Eling as he led a House of Commons debate, and urged the Government to intervene "and bring an end to this rotten regime".

But Coun Eling accused Mr Morris of getting his facts wrong - and said he planned to complain to the Speaker of the House of Commons.

Speaking in the Commons, Mr Morris talked of “the abuse of power by individual councillors and officers, a manipulation of processes and a culture of fear and bullying amongst those who work for and sit on the authority.”
