I think it's outrageous that the leader of the opposition on the council wasn't interviewed, whoever that might be at particular time. There's nothing like a little balance, and it would stop later accusations of a whitewash.
I spoke with a senior Auditor (from the Audit Commission) from Sheffield last month and told him this. He was amazed and thought the Auditors were 'clearly not up to the job'. He said what any Joe Bloggs would work out from the beginning to interview the Leader and Opposition Leader. I think the accommodation and food was more than up to standard (check the photos of them all guzzling champers) and they didn't want to offend their host. The spreads were all the finest foods. The Council paid by the way.
