As for the money. It's all very well that it came from outside the borough but the point is it could have been spent in a far more worthwhile way! OK so it had a label attached to it saying 'money - technology for the use of' but there are people living within Hyndburn itself who could have done a better job with it than the white elephant we ended up with.

The money came from within the Borough. SRB and ERDF. The Borugh/The Council has been given £8m SRB to spend from 2002-2008 and I think £4m ERDF to spend which I think is between 2001-2007.
The site didnt get updated because IT have only 7 staff out of 13 (and they have to run complex financial servers wth personal infornmation on such as Council Tax). Chronic staff shortages are how they have magically covered up the £1.8m black hole and other financial mismangement.
This portal is showing up so many flaws,
Financial incompetence all around
Poor politcal leadership - naked uncontrolled ambition
Chronic staff shortages and problems under the carpet
Failure of financial monitoring systems (SRB and ERDF Boards & Council)
Roll on May....
