Some good news for Christmas … The High Court has ruled that the unitary authority will be allowed to scrap its contract with BT to run IT, human resources and other services.
There will be much to read and digest in the coming weeks, but Mr Justice Knowles has apparently ruled that BT “faced problems of its own making” and did not provide “the service it had promised to the standard it had promised.”
I am proud of the fact that all MK councillors on Cornwall Council opposed the outsourcing in 2012 and recent events show that we were clearly right to do so.
More comment to follow.
