How many of these 'organisations' are there? It must be Hartlepools biggest growth sector in the last 20 years.
The awarding of CIC grants should certainly be looked into including a review of previous contracts, would any private investor stump up £680,000 to a company that had a director who had been banned from holding directorships by a judge, I seriously doubt it ?
I don't think the recipients of such grants should have any connection with the awarding body. There should be a clear demarcation line. Politicians should have no connection in any form with the recipient of such grants.
Just reflects the growth of the third sector positions filled by volunteers, rather than any determined plan to get business or jobs into the town
