In my previous post I described Councillor Lester Hudson as double-jobbing, being both Newham’s deputy mayor and its cabinet member for finance.
It appears I did the poor man a disservice: he is triple-jobbing!
He combines his other two roles with being chair of the council’s audit committee.
Yes, that’s right. The cabinet member for finance also chairs the audit committee. Which surely amounts to a major conflict of interest, especially when there are serious questions to be answered – as there are right now with the East Ham Town Hall campus overspend and the unlawful expenditure on the new 6th form college.
Councillors would be remiss if they did not challenge this very peculiar and unhealthy arrangement.
