Conflicts of Interest

It's not just HBC that appears to have councillors/employees with conflicts of interests winning contracts....

The BBC has seen a memo sent to schools in Ealing by a council IT consultant telling them "beware of offers from companies such as Schools Broadband, RM, Exa, etc."
It then says, "if you ARE stubbornly still tempted to waste your time looking elsewhere...", before going on to claim that no rival can offer the same service that LGfL and its partners can provide.
The document ends: "Easiest decision you ever need to make!"
The email is written by Mark Robinson, who as well as being an IT consultant for Ealing Council is a director of LGfL.

It's about time they stopped council employees or councillors from having anything to do with companies/charities that do business with councils. Too many corrupt individuals trying to get their grubby paws on tax-payers cash.
