CARLISLE CITY COUNCIL

Early day motion 1993, tabled 19 April 2006 by Eric Martlew (Labour). Signed by 16 members.

That this House expresses great concern over the poor management of the financial accounts of Carlisle City Council and the lack of political leadership by the Conservative-controlled group; urges that transparency in governance be adopted and that all necessary steps be taken to enable the district auditor to sign off the accounts; fears that the poor management of the Council's finances will adversely affect the reputation of Carlisle City Council; acknowledges that the political leadership of the Council has not taken appropriate actions to address this problem; and calls on the Leader of the Council to accept fully the district auditor's justified criticism of the failing of his administration in addition to accepting full responsibility for the situation.
