Inquiry needed into blunders

WHAT is going on a Dundee City Council with the Olympia swimming pool?

And Dundee City Council headquarters and a roofing blunder now costing the council tax payers of Dundee an estimated £10 million.

If this was in the private sector heads would be rolling, especially those who have been overseeing the contracted work.

If any of this is down to faulty materials or workmanship, what is being done to recoup the costs?

Robin Presswood, executive director of city development, tries hard with his feeble damage-limitation plan stating that the same situations have happened in Wales and

Belfast.

We the Dundee City Council tax payers are not interested in what happened in Wales and Belfast, that is their problem.

We are only interested in knowing who was to blame, if the costs can be recouped, and an assurance that there will not be a cover-up engineered behind closed doors.

For far too long the public sector faux pas have been covered up whereas in the private sector they would have been sorted out properly and those who caused the blunders dealt with accordingly.

We the taxpayers should be afforded a full inquiry into this hat-trick of mismanagement by Dundee City Council and those who were contracted to carry out work on their behalf.
