Labour Fails Wakefield District Again - 11 - £545,000 settlement paid to former Chief Executive.

Wakefield's Labour Council complains about government cuts, yet the Labour Council paid the former Chief Executive £545,000 as a payoff when he stopped working for Wakefield Council.  He says he was paid to leave Wakefield because of a "political decision by the Leader of the Council." 

You may wonder how often this happens but details of special payments such as this one are typically blocked using gagging clauses or confidentiality agreements. Freedom of information requests are rejected, the Council really does not want you to know. 

Is your money used wisely? How do you know?

If you think that is wrong, tell them NO in the local elections on the 22nd May, help us to help you!
