It really does not come as a surprise the mismanagement of the budget because it was based on idiotic neo liberal debunked ideas.
Northamptonshire in recent years aspired to be a poster-child for a distinctively Conservative approach to local government, priding itself on having one of the lowest levels of council tax, then freezing council tax and adopting a radical plan to outsource services, which sunk without trace.
However, the government was forced to send in commissioners to Northamptonshire in May to oversee the management of the council. This followed a devastating inspector’s report in March, which identified widespread management failures and lax financial controls at the council.
I feel sorry for the public who have unwittingly become guinea pigs in another failed neo liberal experiment.
