Obviously a poor negotiator. £440,000 is not even the average price of a house in the area...
She was very quick to get the deal done as soon as Golden handshakes were capped at £94K , the labour council rushed it through to beat the deadline .

I actually cant believe people have not gone to prison over Croydons finances .

Yep living the dream , the all round incompetence of the council has been an ongoing battle with residents for many years .  The in house building company was an abosolute shitshow of how not to run housebuilding ,there is still a development not 200 yards from my front door that was finnished over two years ago and not one of the 50 or so units is occupied .

Numerous cutbacks in other areas and a 15% rise in council tax to boot . But hey the chief exec walks off with a £440,000 golden handshake before landing a consultancy role with a firm she gave contracts to while running the council , move along now,nothing to see here

On climate change — we're talking, we're beginning to act, but we're still not doing enough...
