It is a common tactic with many Councils that they do pre-Employment Tribunal settlements and then bury under some obscure budget line.
I’m sure the true cost of ‘running’ Sprouts will never be known but it is clear that other services have been impacted as funds were poured into the leaky sieve.
As stated on other threads the same Department that set up Sprouts also set up Ty Pawb – say no more!
Someone in the Council must have shares in an undertaking business as they bury so much stuff.
