I tried to bring the financial irregularities to the notice of the Audit Committee, but they had a majority of LibDems so couldn’t have cared any less.

Rise in cost of the new school from £5.5m to £10m (plus ignored contamination remediation costs) explained in a back of a fag packet document.

Not only was there a financial irregularity of £4.5m (the rising cost of the school) but also another financial irregularity of over £220k in their explanation of that rise.

Because I was/still am banned from asking questions on the subject, I resorted to asking the Finance Executive councillor in the council car park. Fortunately, he had some degree of honesty.
Andrew Webb, CYPD, Donna Sager, CYPD, LibDem Councillors, Vale View School Posted on Sat, May 15, 2021 09:29This was the response he obtained for me.
When I wasn’t allowed to ask council questions, I questioned Paul Carter, then LibDem Executive Councillor for Finance in the car park. He eventually came up with this explanation for the doubling in cost of this primary school.
You will see from the document above that they have used a figure of £1450m2.
You will see from the document above that the attribute some of the monumental rise in cost of this school to an increase in floor area from 2600m2 to 3185m2 and they have themselves given the figure they used as £1450m2. So, this is an increase of 585m2 at £1450 the cost of which they have put at £1,050,000 when I believe it to be £848,250. I might, of course, be wrong but I have tried to check year after year after this this apparent financial irregularity of £201,750. Surely as a council taxpayer I am entitled to some response!

Why am I posting all this up? Because many of the very same LibDem councillors were plotting to seize back control of Stockport Council.

Strangely, Stockport Council have and do allow me to ask FOIA questions on any subject except the corruption pit that is the toxic waste dump primary school.

Workers from the Information Commission at Wilmslow migrate to Stockport Council. Claire Naven, Stockport Council’s then FOIA officer did as did Alex Ganotis who was later Leader of the council and agreed that all my questions were “vexatious”.
LibDem Councillors, Vale View School Posted on Sat, May 15, 2021 06:56And the Information Commissioners past and present frankly are not much to write home about.
