‘Cover-up’ council puts up the shutters yet again
A local council that repeatedly, and falsely, claims to be open and transparent has been caught out, yet again, in a familiar sequence of ineptitude, poor decision-making, deception and cover-up.

Another one bites the dust
In recent history, it is difficult to comprehend that any one person can have made as many unsuccessful complaints, to a wide variety of public bodies and statutory regulators, as Tameside’s notorious failed charity and free schools operator, Raja Miah. These include numerous complaints by Miah, or in concert with his cohort, to Oldham MetropolitanContinue reading “Another one bites the dust”

Council reveal their detachment from controversial information rights tribunal
